Carl Yeksigian commented on CASSANDRA-7212:
-------------------------------------------
Since this is only a cqlsh improvement, I'd rather the changes were contained
to cqlsh instead of including changes to the server-side grammar.
Also, we should allow prompting for the password instead of specifying in the
command in case people don't want the password to end up in their history.
> Allow to switch user within CQLSH session

> Once a user is logged into CQLSH, it is not possible to switch to another
> user without exiting and relaunch
> This is a feature offered in postgres and probably other databases:
> http://secure.encivasolutions.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=1126
>
> Perhaps this could be implemented on CQLSH as part of the "USE" directive:
> USE <Keyspace> [USER] [password]
