Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-1204:
---------------------------------------
First off, there are lots of whitespace issues (mixed tabs and spaces), and
instances of incorrect brace placement. See http://wiki.apache.org/CodyStyle.
Also, I'm not a fan of the syntax used for keyspace and column family creation
here. Could we try something like: {{create (keyspace|column family) name with
attr=value [and attr=value [and...]]}}? I'm also not a fan of the renames, how
about something like: {{rename (keyspace|column family) <src> <dst>}}?
All of these new commands should be setup to work with command completion.
And finally, authentication is kind of a mess in that it operates under the
assumption that priviliges are tied to a keyspace. I think that (for now
anyway), I'd prefer to see {{system_drop_keyspace()}} operate the same way that
{{system_add_keyspace()}} does (namely that it is rejected outright when
authentication is enabled).

> Should add support for the add, drop, and rename operations to keyspace and
> column family in the CliClient.
> Eg:
> add keyspace <keyspace> Add a new
> keyspace.
> add column family <cf>[comparator] Add a new column
> family.
> drop keyspace <keyspace> Delete a
> keyspace.
> drop column family <cf> Delete a column
> family.
> rename keyspace <keyspace>=<keyspace_new_name> Rename a
> keyspace.
> rename column family <name>=<new_name> Rename a column
> family.
> Note: I have patch built for this, but drop keyspace corrupts the schema and
> prevents the node from restarting due to a bug elsewhere (see: CASSANDRA-1203)
