-----------------------------------------
Summary: DOC - Refactor /quickstart guide
Key: CASSANDRA-16731
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16731
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Task
Components: Legacy/Documentation and Website
Reporter: Erick Ramirez
Assignee: Erick Ramirez
ON BEHALF OF ALEXANDER POMOSOV:
It looks like whoever wrote this quickstart guide wrote it without actually
testing. Nothing wrong with that, though! I did something like that just the
other day. But it should probably be fixed. Cassandra sounds awesome to me but
this didn't seem like the best way to give a first impression, so I tried my
hand at improving it.
list of changes:
* removed the authentication part as the test works fine without that and is
probably a bit out of the scope of this document
* replaced {{#}} comments in the CQL script with the proper {{--}}
* is now {{$(pwd)}} as the former did not work on my system (Pop_OS 20.10,
zsh) one of the invocations also had a missing right angle bracket
* the functions {{toTimeStamp(toDate(now))}} threw an error. Apparently, the
function {{toDate()}} is deprecated? I replaced it with the recommended
{{toTimeStamp(now())}} ({{now}} was also missing its {{()}}) and ran into a
second error - {{1234}} is not a valid value for type "text." so I added single
quotes and voila.
* used a network to connect the database and shell containers because
host.docker.internal does not work on Linux
* added another step with a docker command to use cqlsh interactively (there
wasn't one before, all the previous command in step 4 did was load data.cql, it
did not start an interactive session, which was very confusing)
* rewrote and reorganized some of the text due to the new step
This should be tested on something other than Linux, because I haven't had a
chance to do that.
of course all these changes are subject to evaluation! I probably should've
split it out into multiple commits. Hopefully the diff isn't too hard to read.
Let me know if I forgot to mention something or you need anything clarified.
