# `cqlsh`
`cqlsh` is a Python-based command-line client for running `CQL` commands on a `cassandra` cluster.
Normally it's packaged as part of the full Apache Cassandra™ installation. This repo repackages it into a standalone Python package for lighter-weight installs.
### Installing:
Install and update using [`pip`](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/quickstart/):
```
$ pip install -U cqlsh
```
### Running:
```
$ cqlsh --help
```
### Documentation:
Documentation is available as part of the official [Apache Cassandra™ documentation](https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/tools/cqlsh.html).
### Contributing:
Because this is a repackaging of `cqlsh` from the official [Cassandra repo](https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra.git), **only issues / PRs related to PyPI packaging should be opened against this repo**. If you would like to contribute to `cqlsh` itself, [find out more information here](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/CONTRIBUTING.md).
Steps to sanity check that the packaging works as expected:
1. Install `cqlsh` locally (probably in a `virtualenv`):
```
$ pip install -e . # run from within the cqlsh directory
```
2. Start a local copy of Cassandra:
```
$ docker pull cassandra
$ docker run -it --rm -p 9042:9042 cassandra
```
3. Verify `cqlsh` successfully connects to the server:
```
$ cqlsh
Connected to Test Cluster at 127.0.0.1:9042
[cqlsh 6.1.0 | Cassandra 4.1.0 | CQL spec 3.4.5 | Native protocol v5]

### Changelog:
Unfortunately the Cassandra project does not always increment the `cqlsh` version number, so for every
release we need to document not only the `cqlsh` version but also the `cassandra` version in which it
shipped.
#### 6.2.0 (September 16, 2024)
This packages `cqlsh` `6.2.0` from [Cassandra 5.0.0](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-5.0.0/pylib/cqlshlib):
* Add HISTORY command for CQLSH (CASSANDRA-15046)
* Add CQLSH command SHOW REPLICAS (CASSANDRA-17577)
* Cassandra 5.0 has refactored all cqlsh logic to be in cqlshlib, with the new cqlshmain.py replacing behavior formerly in bin/cqlsh.py
* Replace 'wcwidth.py' with pypi module (CASSANDRA-17287)
#### 6.1.3 (Feburary 23, 2023)
This packages `cqlsh` `6.1.0` from [Cassandra 4.1.4](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.1.4/bin/cqlsh.py):
* CQLSH emits a warning when the server version doesn't match (CASSANDRA-18745)
* Fix CQLSH online help topic link (CASSANDRA-17534)
#### 6.1.2 (March 24, 2023)
This packages `cqlsh` `6.1.0` from [Cassandra 4.1.1](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.1.1/bin/cqlsh.py):
* Now supports Python 3.11.
* Although this is pulled from a Cassandra `4.x` release, it is protocol compatible with Cassandra `3.x` clusters, with the exception of `DESCRIBE` keywords which require a 4.x cluster.
#### 6.1.1 (skipped due to a versioning issue)
#### 6.1.0 (Jan 4, 2023)
This packages `cqlsh` `6.1.0` from [Cassandra 4.1](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.1.0/bin/cqlsh.py):
* Requires Python 3.6+.
* Although this is pulled from a Cassandra `4.x` release, it is protocol compatible with Cassandra `3.x` clusters, with the exception of `DESCRIBE` keywords which require a 4.x cluster.
#### 6.0.1 (Jan 18, 2022)
The actual source code is identical to the `cqlsh` `6.0.0` release, except it's now packaged as
a module. This allows it to be used as a library, not just an executable script. It also provides
better Windows support. Details in https://github.com/jeffwidman/cqlsh/pull/7 by @bschoening.
Note: This release was yanked from PyPI because it [broke Python 2 compatibility](https://github.com/jeffwidman/cqlsh/issues/11).
#### 6.0.0 (Aug 3, 2021)
This packages `cqlsh` `6.0.0` from [Cassandra 4.0](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.0.0/bin/cqlsh.py):
* Requires Python 3.6+ or 2.7 (although support for Python 2 is deprecated).
* Although this is pulled from a Cassandra `4.x` release, it should generally work against Cassandra `3.x` clusters without needing to set any flags.
#### 6.0.0b4 (Mar 9, 2021)
This packages `cqlsh` `5.0.1` from [Cassandra 4.0-beta4](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.0-beta4/bin/cqlsh.py):
* Now supports Python 3.
* Although this is pulled from a Cassandra `4.x` release, it should generally work against Cassandra `3.x` clusters without needing to set any flags.
#### 5.0.5 (Mar 9, 2021)
This packages `cqlsh` `5.0.1` from [Cassandra 3.11.10](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.11.10/bin/cqlsh.py).
#### 5.0.4 (Mar 29, 2017)
This packages `cqlsh` `5.0.1` from [Cassandra 3.4.0](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.4/bin/cqlsh.py).
#### 5.0.3 (Mar 21, 2016)

#### 4.1.0 (Dec 2, 2013)
This packages `cqlsh` `4.1.0` from [Cassandra 2.0.3](https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.0.3/bin/cqlsh).
#### 4.0.1 (Oct 14, 2013)
