Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-5697:
----------------------------------------------
The semicolon is optional. You are getting this error because cqlsh splits its
statements internally. Using python-cql directly (or any other client), the
semicolons will be accepted.
It's questionable whether or not messing with cqlsh internals just to allow the
semicolons in BATCH is worth it, but I'll have a look later today.
> Semi-colons not Allowed in CQL3 Batch Statements

> Reporter: Russell Alexander Spitzer
> Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: cql

> The documentation for BATCH statements declares that semicolons are required
> between update operations. Currently including them results in an error
> 'expecting K_APPLY'. To match the design specifications, semi-colons should
> be allowed or optional.
