Todd Blose commented on CASSANDRA-859: -------------------------------------- Morten, not sure what the status is of your work, but I went ahead and worked on this to make finishing CASSANDRA-714 easier. Here is a summary of changes to the cli: * there is a new command called 'use'. use <keyspace> <username> <password> (where username and password are optional if it's a keyspace without restrictions) * the record specifier has been updated to no longer require keyspace in front. the ANTLR grammar has been updated. * instead of seeing "cassandra" at the shell prompt, the text is now [u...@keyspace]. if it's a non-privileged keyspace, user is "default". when no keyspace has been logged into yet, the actual name is "unknown" Here is an example session: Welcome to cassandra CLI. Type 'help' or '?' for help. Type 'quit' or 'exit' to quit. [defa...@unknown] connect localhost/9160 Connected to: "Test Cluster" on localhost/9160 [defa...@unknown] get test['hi'] Not logged in to a keyspace. [defa...@unknown] use b Exception during authentication to the cassandra node, verify you are using correct credentials. [defa...@unknown] use system Authenticated to keyspace: system [defa...@system] get test['hi'] column family test key hi No such column family: test [defa...@system] help List of all CLI commands: ? Same as help. help Display this help. connect <hostname>/<port> Connect to thrift service. use <keyspace> Switch to a specific keyspace. use <keyspace> <username> <password> Switch to privileged keyspace. describe keyspace <keyspacename> Describe keyspace. exit Exit CLI. quit Exit CLI. show cluster name Display cluster name. show keyspaces Show list of keyspaces. show api version Show server API version. get <cf>['<key>'] Get a slice of columns. get <cf>['<key>']['<super>'] Get a slice of sub columns. get <cf>['<key>']['<col>'] Get a column value. get <cf>['<key>']['<super>']['<col>'] Get a sub column value. set <cf>['<key>']['<col>'] = '<value>' Set a column. set <cf>['<key>']['<super>']['<col>'] = '<value>' Set a sub column. del <cf>['<key>'] Delete record. del <cf>['<key>']['<col>'] Delete column. del <cf>['<key>']['<super>']['<col>'] Delete sub column. count <cf>['<key>'] Count columns in record. count <cf>['<key>']['<super>'] Count columns in a super column. obviously, this is a preliminary patch, and feedback is appreciated. I'll be testing this more and will add the results to the ticket. This can be verified separately of CASSANDRA-714 and ultimately merged with it. > update cassandra-cli for mandatory login() > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-859 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-859 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Task > Components: Tools > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Reporter: Eric Evans > Priority: Minor > Attachments: CASSANDRA-859.patch > > > With the completion of CASSANDRA-714, the cli will need to be updated > accordingly. > * Either the --keyspace command argument (or something equivalent entered > interactively after startup), will need to be made required. > * The record specifier should be changed from `keyspace.column_family['row']' > to `column_family['row']'. > * The keyspace name should be displayed in the prompt, instead of the fixed > string "cassandra" as a reminder of the current working keyspace. > Additionally, a get_string_property("cluster name") was recently added to > force connection errors to occur early (the name is also displayed in the > banner). Since this changeset will make a login() call mandatory, the > get_string_property() call will be unneeded and can be removed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
