Benson Margulies commented on CASSANDRA-3769: --------------------------------------------- How did my name get onto this? > Allow for comments in a cassandra-cli file > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-3769 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3769 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Tools > Affects Versions: 1.0.6 > Environment: Amazon Linux w/ Apache Cassandra 1.0.6 > Reporter: Andrew Halloran > Priority: Trivial > Labels: cassandra-cli > > I use the cassandra-cli to create schemas, update schemas, and make other > calls to interrogate keyspaces and columns. I load pre-written statements > from files using the -f option, example: "bin/cassandra-cli -host localhost > -port 9160 -f mystatements.txt". It would be useful if I could comment my > statement files with comments similar to how you can comment script and > C++/Java code. > Example contents of "mystatements.txt" file: > update column family users // This is my column which > holds all my user information > with comparator = UTF8Type // My column names are all > strings so I will use UTF8Type > and key_validation_class = UTF8Type // My row key values are also > UTF8Type > and default_validation_class = UTF8Type // Column values will be > UTF8Type > and column_metadata = [ > {column_name: username, validation_class: UTF8Type}, // This > column stores the login name of the user > {column_name: realname, validation_class: UTF8Type}];// This > column stores the real world name of user -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
