Summary: DOC - Refactor /quickstart guide Key: CASSANDRA-16731 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16731 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Task Components: Legacy/Documentation and Website Reporter: Erick Ramirez Assignee: Erick Ramirez ON BEHALF OF ALEXANDER POMOSOV: It looks like whoever wrote this quickstart guide wrote it without actually testing. Nothing wrong with that, though! I did something like that just the other day. But it should probably be fixed. Cassandra sounds awesome to me but this didn't seem like the best way to give a first impression, so I tried my hand at improving it. list of changes: * removed the authentication part as the test works fine without that and is probably a bit out of the scope of this document * replaced {{#}} comments in the CQL script with the proper {{--}} * is now {{$(pwd)}} as the former did not work on my system (Pop_OS 20.10, zsh) one of the invocations also had a missing right angle bracket * the functions {{toTimeStamp(toDate(now))}} threw an error. Apparently, the function {{toDate()}} is deprecated? I replaced it with the recommended {{toTimeStamp(now())}} ({{now}} was also missing its {{()}}) and ran into a second error - {{1234}} is not a valid value for type "text." so I added single quotes and voila. * used a network to connect the database and shell containers because host.docker.internal does not work on Linux * added another step with a docker command to use cqlsh interactively (there wasn't one before, all the previous command in step 4 did was load data.cql, it did not start an interactive session, which was very confusing) * rewrote and reorganized some of the text due to the new step This should be tested on something other than Linux, because I haven't had a chance to do that. of course all these changes are subject to evaluation! I probably should've split it out into multiple commits. Hopefully the diff isn't too hard to read. Let me know if I forgot to mention something or you need anything clarified. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
