PJ created CASSANDRA-7172:
-----------------------------

             Summary: cqlsh: Accept and execute CQL statement(s) from 
command-line parameter
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7172
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7172
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: PJ
            Priority: Trivial


I don't know if there is a workaround for this, but currently, if I want to 
dump the output of a statement into a file, I need to save the statements into 
another file and pass it as input to cqlsh. Something like:

$ cqlsh -f [statement_file] > [output_file]

I am aware of the existence of the cqlsh CAPTURE command but it doesn't work 
for everything (particularly, for cqlsh-only commands like DESCRIBE)

To solve this, I propose that you add an "-e" parameter to cqlsh that accepts a 
valid CQL statement to execute. This is exactly the same as MySQL CLI's "-e" 
parameter:
