Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-9802:
---------------------------------------------

bq. If the page size is lower than a fix threshold (e.g. 5000), the page size 
specified by the client is ignored and a page size of 5000 is used.

Sure, that's simple, but that's a complete hack. There is no reason to ignore 
clients page size below a certain threshold in general. What if the use knows 
the aggregated values are huge and a very low page size *is* the right thing in 
that very specific case?

bq. It is doable but it will add a lot of logic to cqlsh.

Don't know. Only reason I created this is that is that it sounded not all that 
hard from what Tyler said on CASSANDRA-9724. And I though cqlsh was already 
parsing queries for the sake of completion anyway. But If it's a mess to do, 
then I'm fine with not bothering, it's not like using a too low page size in 
cqlsh is a big deal. That issue is really just a nice-to-have. And it's not in 
any way a priority btw.

> As discussed in CASSANDRA-9724, cqlsh uses a small page size (100) which 
> makes sense for "normal" queries since you don't want to flood the terminal, 
> but is quite sub-optimal for aggregates where the page size is used as the 
> internal page size for the aggregate (there is thus no terminal flooding 
> concerns and a page size of 100 is too low).
> We should thus make cqlsh use a bigger page size (stick with the python 
> driver default for instance) when dealing with aggregate queries. According 
> to Tyler:
> bq. it's not trivial, but it is possible. It should take a day or less of 
> work.
