Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-17448:
-----------------------------------------------
PSQL has PSQL_HISTORY which is file
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/app-psql.html
The current patch the user sent (1) is setting CQL_HISTORY to a directory to
which "cqlsh_history" file is appended so in fact the history is written to
$CQL_HISTORY/cqlsh_history which is quite missleading. I would expect that
CQL_HISTORY will lead to a file, not directory.
I am trying to modify the patch in such a way that CQL_HISTORY is file, not dir.

> allow users to change cqlsh history location using env variable

> User on GH sent:
> I just started using cassandra and found that it creates history folder in my
> home directory. I personally don't like it and all my folders follow XDG
> standard. I found stackoverflow question related to it which says that it's
> not possible to do without configuring source code of cqlsh.py.
> In this pull request I added a feature to choose history directory using
> environment variable. The name of variable is CQL_HISTORY. Why ? Because
> postgres and node-repl use approximately the same convention
> (NODE_REPL_HISTORY,PSQL_HISTORY). If you want I can change the name.
