Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-4008:
---------------------------------------------
That is not an impossibility, you can always use quotes to avoid that problem.
I.e. list 'Schema' works as expected.
And I don't think it's worth bothering adding special cases for every reserved
words. I suppose we could document which are the reserved words and how to
escape them.
> Unable to operate on Schema column family in cassandra-cli as "Schema" is a
> reserved word
