What is a good way to copy data from one Cassandra ColumnFamily to another on the same Keyspace (like SQL's INSERT INTO)? Trying to find a way to easily transfer all the rows from a Cassandra ColumnFamily/Table to another.

The COPY command, as I understand, is a good option.  However, as it dumps all the data to .csv on disk and then loads it back, I can't help but wonder if there is a better way to do it in-engine.

A specific example of what I mean would be the INSERT * FROM my_table INTO my_other_table available in many SQL databases.  Of course, I realize that Cassandra is NoSQL and therefore does not to work the same way - but it seems like something which might be available.

What is a good way to accomplish this?

Thanks very much!
cqlsh -k mykeyspace -e 'COPY fromTable(columnNames) TO STDOUT' | head -n -1 | 
cqlsh -k mykeyspace -e 'COPY toTable(columnNames) FROM STDIN'
