-------------------------------------------
There's one you can set through the Edit button, if you scroll down. If you
don't have permissions to access/edit that somehow, come complain in
#cassandra-dev on IRC.
Thanks for volunteering to review!
> The specification of protocol version in cqlsh means the python driver
> doesn't automatically downgrade protocol version.

> Hi,
> Looks like we've regressed on the issue described in:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9467
> In that we're no longer able to connect from newer cqlsh versions
> (e.g trunk) to older versions of Cassandra with a lower version of the
> protocol (e.g 2.1 with protocol version 3)
> The problem seems to be that we're relying on the ability for the client to
> automatically downgrade protocol version implemented in Cassandra here:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12838
> and utilised in the python client here:
> https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/PYTHON-240
> The problem however comes when we implemented:
> https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/PYTHON-537
> "Don't downgrade protocol version if explicitly set"
> (included when we bumped from 3.5.0 to 3.7.0 of the python driver as part of
> fixing: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11534)
> Since we do explicitly specify the protocol version in the bin/cqlsh.py.
> I've got a patch which just adds an option to explicitly specify the protocol
> version (for those who want to do that) and then otherwise defaults to not
> setting the protocol version, i.e using the protocol version from the client
> which we ship, which should by default be the same protocol as the server.
> Then it should downgrade gracefully as was intended.
> Let me know if that seems reasonable.
> Thanks,
> Matt
