Here's what README says: * bin/cassandra -f
Running the startup script with the -f argument will cause Cassandra to remain in the foreground and log to standard out. Now let's try to read and write some data using the command line client. * bin/cassandra-cli --host localhost The command line client is interactive so if everything worked you should be sitting in front of a prompt... Connected to: "Test Cluster" on localhost/9160 Welcome to cassandra CLI. Type 'help;' or '?' for help. Type 'quit;' or 'exit;' to quit.
