> ON BEHALF OF https://github.com/polymetric:
> 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.
