I'm looking over your comments, and a bit confused (or
maybe I just don't agree) with the create keyspace syntax you are
suggesting. It seems that you are suggesting the following:
create keyspace <keyspace>[placement_strategy=value ]
create keyspace <keyspace>[placement_strategy=value
[replication_factor = value ] ]
eg:
create keyspace foo[placement_strategy=RackUnawareStrategy]
create keyspace foo[placement_strategy=RackUnawareStrategy
[replication_factor = 3 ]]

No, I was suggesting something like...
{noformat}
create keyspace Foo with placement = RackUnawareStrategy and replication_factor
= 3
create column family Bar with comparator = BytesType and rowscached = 10000
{noformat}
{quote}
But this looks unlike the syntax for the gets and sets and looks
somewhat messier than below this:
create keyspace foo[RackUnawareStrategy]
create keyspace foo[RackUnawareStrategy][3]
{quote}
Right. This syntax is similar to how lists are subscripted in some languages,
which is a pretty good analogy for the data access bits (get and set), but
doesn't make any sense here IMO.

So, am I reading you right, if so, how do you feel about the above
modifications to your corrections?

> 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)
