Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-12571:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for your input [~Nate75Sanders].
I've checked our [own
documentation|http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/tools/cqlsh.html?command-line-options#command-line-options]
and it is already correct. As for the Datastax
[documentation|https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.3/cql/cql_reference/cqlshUsingCqlshrc.html#cqlshUsingCqlshrc__request-timeout],
it seems that too must have been updated in the last few days, although it
mentions {{--timeout}} just above, rather than {{-connect-timeout}}; cc
[[email protected]]: it's {{\[connection\] timeout}} in .cqlshrc but
{{--connect-timeout}} as a command line argument.
As for calling out the old behavior, it's not just that none is no longer
supported, but also that {{client-timeout}} was renamed to {{request-timeout}}.
However, {{client-timeout}} was never documented by CASSANDRA-7516, as it was
intended only for testing.
So I'm not totally convinced we should pollute the documentation with this
information, if anything it should have gone into NEWS.txt. Besides, if people
were able to work out the existence of an undocumented cqlsh option, they
should also work out the change in behavior. However, if you want to produce a
documentation patch, either for NEWS.txt or the in-tree documentation itself, I
can commit it.
For now I am closing this ticket.
