Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3010:
-------------------------------------------
I didn't say it's a *good* argument. :)
But
- I don't want even bad arguments to hurt adoption
- Extending cqlsh to handle the metadata introspection that the cli does, would
be about as much work as creating a new cql shell in Java with the existing
introspection code from the cli, so if we do this now it doesn't cost us much
if anything overall

> Key: CASSANDRA-3010
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3010
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> We need a "real" CQL shell that:
> - does not require installing additional environments
> - includes "show keyspaces" and other introspection tools
> - does not break existing cli scripts
> I.e., it needs to be java, but it should be a new tool instead of replacing
> the existing cli.
