The SELECT statement has also been extended to support retrieval of rows in a JSON-encoded map format. The results for SELECT JSON will only include a single column named [json]. This column will contain the same JSON-encoded map representation of a row that is used for INSERT JSON.

SELECT JSON * FROM "user_status_updates_by_datetime"WHERE "username" = 'alice'AND status_date > '2016-11-20';
You will get each CQL row as a separate JSON-encoded string:
