Use cqlsh to backup schema instead of depreciated cassandra-cli #59

Cassandra CLI doesn't dump newer tables. Switching to cqlsh instead

could you elaborate on this?

So trying to run show schema with cassandra-cli on Cassandra 2.1, I get the following error and most of my tables aren't shown:

$ echo -e "show schema;\n" | cassandra-cli
Connected to: "prod" on 127.0.0.1/9160
Welcome to Cassandra CLI version 2.1.8

The CLI is deprecated and will be removed in Cassandra 2.2.  Consider migrating to cqlsh.
CQL is fully backwards compatible with Thrift data; see http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3

Type 'help;' or '?' for help.
Type 'quit;' or 'exit;' to quit.

[default@unknown] show schema;

WARNING: CQL3 tables are intentionally omitted from 'show schema' output.
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4377 for details.

Using describe schema with cqlsh all my tables are dumped just fine. Seems like they are deprecating cassandra-cli in favor of cqlsh
