cassandra-cli help output should mention the need for semicolons
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1770
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1770
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tools
Affects Versions: 0.7.0 rc 1
Environment: Debian squeeze with 0.7.0~rc1 package installed
Reporter: paul cannon
Priority: Minor
When running cassandra-cli for the first time after upgrading beta3 -> rc1, I
thought it was broken, because any command I typed ("?", "quit", "exit", "use
system", etc) just printed some empty space and sat there until I killed it. I
didn't know it was a continuation prompt, or that semicolons were needed.
The startup banner message currently says:
{noformat}
Connected to: "Test Cluster" on localhost/9160
Welcome to cassandra CLI.
Type 'help' or '?' for help. Type 'quit' or 'exit' to quit.
{noformat}
I believe that the example commands should have semicolons after them, to let
the user know about the change.
Also, a "?" by itself should probably not require a semicolon.
