Attachment: CASSANDRA-3597-1.1.txt
> cqlsh: use libedit when readline isn't available, if possible
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-3597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3597
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Environment: Cqlsh, run under a Mac OS X-bundled Python installation
> (also possibly some types of BSD installation).
> Reporter: paul cannon

>
> Cqlsh provides context-sensitive tab-completion functionality, but it's only
> available when the readline library is available, and this is not the case
> where readline's GPL license proves problematic.
> [libedit|http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/] is a common replacement, which
> would be available to Mac OS X-bundled Python users, and the Python readline
> module makes libedit almost a drop-in replacement.
> If possible, fallback to libedit functionality when providing tab completion.
