Matthew Horsfall (alh) commented on CASSANDRA-4666:
---------------------------------------------------
Also I just realized that if you exit out of cqlsh and go back in, the written
history has everything broken out by line so you once again lose the multi-line
support for anything saved prior running cqlsh.
This is still a step in the right direction I think. To solve we could just
concat the string together before calling readline.add_history().

> The cqlsh tool has history support. If you press the up arrow, you get
> previous entries.
> If you do a multi-line command however like:
> {noformat}
> cqlsh > do
> something;
> {noformat}
> when you press the up arrow you get each individual statement separately.
> (First "something;" and then "do").
> This is not useful if you type a large create statement and typo one of the
> pieces.
> It'd be nice if cqlsh supported multi-line history items and could bring them
> back with the up arrow.
