Sridharan Kuppa commented on CASSANDRA-4831: -------------------------------------------- There is no exception in the cql3, and it is giving an error message that the query is expecting K_WHERE. It is definitely better than NullPointerException. $ ./cqlsh --cql3 1 [main] python2.6 16736 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'fcntl.dll' (0x450000) is already occupied Connected to Test Cluster at localhost:9160.

Everything works great but DELETE is not working.
