    from cqlengine import columns
    from cqlengine.models import Model
    
    class ExampleModel(Model):
        read_repair_chance = 0.05 # optional - defaults to 0.1
        example_id      = columns.UUID(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
        example_type    = columns.Integer(index=True)
        created_at      = columns.DateTime()
        description     = columns.Text(required=False)
  3. Run ./manage.py syncdb
