> Hello,
> using: bin/cassandra-cli -host localhost --file conf/schema-sample.txt
> with schema-sample.txt having contents like this:
> /* here are a lot of comments,
> like this sample create keyspace;
> and so on
> */
> Will result in an error:
> Line 1 => Syntax Error at Position 323: mismatched charackter '<EOF>'
> expecting '*'
> The Cause is the keyspace; statement => the semicolon ";" causes the error.
> However:
> Writing the word "keyspace;" with quotes, does NOT lead to the error.
> so this works:
> /* here are a lot of comments,
> like this sample create "keyspace;"
> and so on
> */
> From my point of view this is an error. Everyting between the "Start Comment"
> => /* and "End Comment" => */ Should be treated as a comment and not be
> interpreted in any way. Thats the definition of a comment, to be not
> interpreted at all.
> Or this must be documented somewhere very prominently, otherwise this will
> lead to unnecessary wasting of time searching for this odd behavoiur. And it
> makes "commenting out" statements much more cumbersome.
> Plattform: Windows Vista
> thanks
