Nodetool describering
=====================

**describering** - :code:`<keyspace>`- Shows the partition ranges of a given keyspace.
For example:

.. code-block:: shell

   nodetool describering nba

If :doc:`tablets </architecture/tablets>` are enabled for your keyspace, you
need to additionally specify the table name. The command will display the ring
of the table.

.. code:: shell

   nodetool describering <keyspace> <table>

For example:

.. code-block:: shell

   nodetool describering nba player_name


Example output (for a three-node cluster on AWS with tablets disabled):

.. code-block:: shell
