The specific problem I'm seeing here is that the user can launch cassandra
itself, but doesn't have enough memory to launch cassandra-cli afterwards, and
there isn't an intuitive way to change cassandra-cli's heap.

Interesting. I would have thought the default max heap size would be
something... reasonable, but on my machine it seems to be 987MB (the hell?!).
Anyway, I just checked in a change that sets this to 256MB. I don't know if
that's the optimal value but it's considerably less than the almost-a-gig
default. The only reason it would ever need to be bigger than say 16MB is to
buffer larger responses, and 256MB seems like a gracious plenty for any
practical use of our CLI.

I see cassandra-cli's script specifically trying to include cassandra.in.sh,
though, on second look, it does not appear to be doing anything with it. Maybe
we should just remove the cassandra.in.sh cruft.
{quote}
It is using it though, it's using it to setup the classpath; cassandra.in.sh is
basically the common code for setting the classpath in all of those scripts.

> Fix For: 0.7 beta 2

> When we switched to cassandra-env.sh, we neglected to change the cli as well.
> This leads to people unable to launch to the client due to heap size, and
> not having any idea how to change the heap for the cli itself.
