Create table if they do NOT exist
<p>Currently there are schema actions that let you recreate tables on each startup, but dropping them obviously means you lose all rows of that table.
In CQL you can make a query like</p>

<pre><code>    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS keyspace.tablename(....)
</code></pre>

<p>But I can't find any way of achieving a similar result with spring-data-casssandra, one that would let me start my app for the first time and on without changing anything.</p>

<p>Is there any way to create a table defined in a POJO with @Table ONLY if said table does not already exist?</p>
