> Cassandra 2.0.4 cli is informing me that it will no longer exist in the next major.
I know you meant 3.0 by "next major" but just for the sake of not confusing anyone reading, the current plan is to remove the cassandra-cli in Cassandra 3.0 which will not be the next major release (the next major will be 2.1) but the one after that. > How will users adjust the meta data of non cql column families The rational for removing cassandra-cli is mainly that maintaining 2 fully featured command line interface is a waste of the project resources in the long run. It's just a tool using the thrift interface however and you'll still be able to adjust metadata through the thrift interface as before. As Patricia mentioned, there is even some existing interactive options like pycassaShell in the community. On top of that, for most day-to-day modifications (compaction strategy, compression options, caching, gc_grace, ...), cqlsh is as convenient as would the cli even for Thrift only users. -- Sylvain On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 3:35 AM, Patricia Gorla <patri...@thelastpickle.com>wrote: > I am also curious as to how users will manage Thrift-based tables without > the cli. > > PyCassaShell comes to mind, as does using Thrift-based clients. > > > On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 9:53 AM, Edward Capriolo <edlinuxg...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Cassandra 2.0.4 cli is informing me that it will no longer exist in the >> next major. >> >> How will users adjust the meta data of non cql column families and other >> cfs that do not fit into the cql model? >> >> -- >> Sorry this was sent from mobile.
