Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-10038: -------------------------------------- CASSANDRA-9232 will fix this because the python driver has classified 'map' as an unreserved keywords, along with several others, see _cassandra/metadata.py_ in the driver. I tested it on trunk: {code} git checkout trunk Switched to branch 'trunk' Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin2/trunk'. cqlsh Connected to Test Cluster at 127.0.0.1:9042. [cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.0.0-alpha1-SNAPSHOT | CQL spec 3.3.0 | Native protocol v4] Use HELP for help. cqlsh> use keyspace1 ; cqlsh:keyspace1> DESCRIBE map ; Improper DESCRIBE command. cqlsh:keyspace1> quit git checkout 9232; Switched to branch '9232' cqlsh Connected to Test Cluster at 127.0.0.1:9042.

This same mismatch likely applies to other > CQL keywords as well. > The cqlshlib and C* CQL parsers should treat keywords the same where possible. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
