As per Jonathans previous comments, the CLI defaults to using the
NetworkTopologyStrategy which requires different strategy_options. See the CLI
help under help create keyspace;
When using the strategy_options clause you need to specify the options the
strategy is expecting. From the examples in the help
Examples:
create keyspace Keyspace2
with placement_strategy = 'org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy'
and strategy_options = [{replication_factor:4}];
create keyspace Keyspace3
with placement_strategy =
'org.apache.cassandra.locator.NetworkTopologyStrategy'
and strategy_options=[{DC1:2, DC2:2}];
create keyspace Keyspace4
with placement_strategy =
'org.apache.cassandra.locator.OldNetworkTopologyStrategy'
and strategy_options = [{replication_factor:1}];
When https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2960 is released will be
getting an error.
