Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3010:
-------------------------------------------
There's actually a more meaningful reason why avoiding extra dependencies is a
good thing: the most popular dev platform remains Windows, where dependency
management remains firmly in the dark ages.
It's kind of a black eye for the new-user experience if Joe Windows tries to
follow the README and try some sample CQL, but it doesn't work until he goes
and installs Python first.

> 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.
