Christoph Hack updated CASSANDRA-1565:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: trunk-1565.txt
Update which makes the cassandra-cli command line options more consistent with
other tools (nodetool). In addition to the previous long option names, shorter
ones are provided for common options and additional error handling (e.g. for
additional non-recognized options or arguments) was added.
> cassandra-cli use consistant flags and improve error messages

> Key: CASSANDRA-1565
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1565
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 0.7 beta 1
> Environment: Centos 5 using
> http://mirror.lividpenguin.com/pub/apache//cassandra/0.7.0/apache-cassandra-0.7.0-beta1-bin.tar.gz
> Reporter: Ian Rogers
> Priority: Minor

> nodetool uses "-h" to specify the host to connect to but cassandra-cli uses
> "-host" which is a pain to remember.
> More importantly, if you do use "-h" then there's no error! If you do this
> and then try to "show keyspaces" or some such you just get an entirely
> accurate though confusing "not connected to a cluster" error.
> 1. Make the flags consistant amongst all the tools where appropriate.
> 2. If you supply a flag to a tool it doesn't recognise then the tool should
> error immediately and display its usage message.
