Before this change, executing `DESCRIBE MATERIALIZED VIEW` on the underlying
materialized view of a secondary index would produce a `CREATE INDEX` statement.
It was not only confusing, but it also prevented from learning about
the definition of the view. The only way to do so was to query system tables.
We change that behavior and produce a `CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW` statement
instead. The statement is printed as a comment to implicitly convey that
the user should not attempt to execute it to restore the view. A short comment
is provided to make it clearer.
Before this commit:
```
cqlsh> CREATE TABLE ks.t(p int PRIMARY KEY, v int);
cqlsh> CREATE INDEX i ON ks.t(v);
cqlsh> DESCRIBE MATERIALIZED VIEW ks.i;
CREATE INDEX i ON ks.t(v);
```
After this commit:
```
cqlsh> CREATE TABLE ks.t(p int PRIMARY KEY, v int);
cqlsh> CREATE INDEX i ON ks.t(v);
cqlsh> DESCRIBE MATERIALIZED VIEW ks.i;
/* Do NOT execute this statement! It's only for informational purposes.
This materialized view is the underlying materialized view of a secondary
index. It can be restored via restoring the index.
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ks.i_index [...];
*/
```
Note that describing the base table has not been affected and still works
as follows:
```
cqlsh> CREATE TABLE ks.t(p int PRIMARY KEY, v int);
cqlsh> CREATE INDEX i ON ks.t(v);
cqlsh> DESCRIBE TABLE ks.t;
CREATE TABLE ks.t (
p int,
v int,
PRIMARY KEY (p)

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
