- Cassandra ships with a very basic interactive command line interface, or 
shell. Using the CLI you can connect to remote nodes in the cluster, set and 
retrieve records and columns, or query node and cluster meta-data (i.e. cluster 
name, keyspace listings and disposition, etc). The CLI is handy for quick tests 
or for familiarizing yourself with the data-model.

  In the example above we created a record in the `Keyspace1` keyspace and 
`Standard1` column family using the key `jsmith`. This record has three 
columns, `first`, `last`, and `age`. Each of these commands is the equivalent 
to an `insert()` using the [[API|Thrift API]].
  
  Now let's read back the `jsmith` row to see what it contains:
