-------------------------------------------
Summary: cqlsh drops characters from script files with wrong
version of the Python libedit (readline) library
Key: CASSANDRA-5369
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5369
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: MAC OSX Python 2.7.3. readline (unknown version)
Reporter: Steven Lowenthal
If an python installation has the wrong version of readline, cqlsh does not
allow non-ascii characters such as in the word "café". When reading a script,
cqlsh simply drops those characters out of the script. In my case, the script
contained insert statements, and C* thereby inserted bad data. cqlsh needs to
throw if there is a version of readline that exhibits this behavior. This
behavior was exhibited in my version of OSX 10.8
It was remedied by upgrading readline:
Steves-MacBook-Pro:bin stevelowenthal$ sudo easy_install readline
