paul cannon updated CASSANDRA-3350:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Cassandra allows keyspace names to start with a digit or an underscore (see
o.a.c.db.migration.Migration.isLegalName), but CQL's {{USE}} statement only
accepts a CQL identifier, which must start with a letter. So there's no way to
use a keyspace named "142" or "\_hi\_" in CQL, for example.
The {{USE}} statement should accept string literals and integers as well as
identifiers, and CQL identifiers ({{IDENT}}) should probably allow starting
with the underscore.
