title: Why does Cassandra change the partition key?
body: <p>When creating the following table in C* the primary key is different after creation. </p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE TABLE example (
   section text,
   server text,
   unique_id int,
   column1 text,
   column2 int,
   PRIMARY KEY ((section), server, unique_id)
  ) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (server ASC, unique_id ASC);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I describe that table it appears as though section is not saved as the partition key:</p>
  
  <p>cqlsh:test> describe example;</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE TABLE test.example (
      section text,
      server text,
      unique_id int,
      column1 text,
      column2 int,
      PRIMARY KEY (section, server, unique_id)
  ) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (server ASC, unique_id ASC)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is this happening? Am I missing something?</p>
