Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4173:
-------------------------------------------

Does CQL2 support double quotes?  If so, switching to doublequotes everywhere may be simpler.

> when cqlsh needs to output a column name or other term which needs quoting (say, if you run DESCRIBE KEYSPACE and some column name has a space in it), it currently only knows how to quote in the cql2 way. That is,
> {noformat}
> cqlsh:foo> describe columnfamily bar
> CREATE COLUMNFAMILY bar (
>   a int PRIMARY KEY,
>   'b c' text
> ) WITH
> ...
> {noformat}
> cql3 does not recognize single quotes around column names, or columnfamily or keyspace names either. cqlsh ought to learn how to use double-quotes instead when in cql3 mode.
