{{git format-patch}})
> Allow cqlsh shell ignore .cassandra permission errors and not fail to open
> the cqlsh shell.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7266
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Carolyn Jung
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: lhf
>
> There is an issue with home directories not working and this is causing users
> to not be able to execute cqlsh shell. CQLSH shell uses the .cassandra folder
> in the user's home directory for history and currently throws error and
> returns you to the prompt. Below is the error:
> -bash-4.1$ cqlsh
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "/usr/bin/cqlsh", line 141, in <module>
> os.mkdir(HISTORY_DIR)
> OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/testuser/.cassandra'
> In this example, testuser does not have access to the home directory.
> Requested resolution is to allow a user to access the cqlsh shell even though
> the home directory is inaccessible.
> The current workaround is to gain access to the home directory. This is not
> acceptable in all cases because of security policies of the organization.
