Welcome to cassandra CLI.

Type 'help' or '?' for help. Type 'quit' or 'exit' to quit.


What could have gone wrong ? 
    

  
After the latest patch in the auth I saw the same. I needed to supply 
the --keyspace, --username and --password. (funny thing is that with the 
"allow all" authentication its still mandatory.

# cassandra-cli --host localhost --port 9160 --keyspace Keyspace1

Works fine (user mickey is not defined anywhere).

Question is, is this a bug or a feature?
If bug, I can go for the patch, if feature the wiki should be updated.
