Allow for comments in a cassandra-cli file
------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3769
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3769
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Affects Versions: 1.0.6
Environment: Amazon Linux w/ Apache Cassandra 1.0.6
Reporter: Andrew Halloran
Priority: Trivial
I use the cassandra-cli to create schemas, update schemas, and make other calls
to interrogate keyspaces and columns. I load pre-written statements from files
using the -f option, example: "bin/cassandra-cli -host localhost -port 9160 -f
mystatements.txt". It would be useful if I could comment my statement files
with comments similar to how you can comment script and C++/Java code.
Example contents of "mystatements.txt" file:
update column family users // This is my column which holds
all my user information
with comparator = UTF8Type // My column names are all
strings so I will use UTF8Type
and key_validation_class = UTF8Type // My row key values are also
UTF8Type
and default_validation_class = UTF8Type // Column values will be
UTF8Type
and column_metadata = [
{column_name: username, validation_class: UTF8Type}, // This
column stores the login name of the user
{column_name: realname, validation_class: UTF8Type}];// This
column stores the real world name of user
