[Feature Request] Import/Export Keyspaces and Column Families

[SunboX]

Would be nice to have a import/export function. So we can easily export the keyspace for trying something out or for publishing it from development to production environment.

Export/Import Data woud be nice, too. (Backup)

I thought about this, the problem is I'm not sure what a good format to export would be. Maybe JSON, but it's probably gonna be a pain to transfer completly a big database. I will have to think about this :D

ZIP compressed JSON ;o)

Would be nice to have it compatible with this:

I'm not sure if that could work because this is for specific sstable, and I don't think there is any way from thrift to know from which sstable the data come from... but I could be wrong ?! :|
