[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7094) Keyspace name quoting is handled inconsistently and strangely

["Alex P (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7094?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13981934#comment-13981934 ] 

Alex P commented on CASSANDRA-7094:
-----------------------------------

CQL is case-insensitive, so the behavior of USE, etc is correct. DESCRIBE is not part of CQL though, but it should probably preserve the case-insensitive behavior (to avoid confusions).

> Keyspaces which are named starting with capital letters (and perhaps other things) sometimes require double quotes and sometimes do not.
> For example, describe works without quotes:
> cqlsh> describe keyspace ProductGenomeLocal;
> CREATE KEYSPACE "ProductGenomeLocal" WITH replication = {
>   'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
>   'replication_factor': '3'
> };
> USE "ProductGenomeLocal";
> [...]
> But use will not:
> cqlsh> use ProductGenomeLocal;
> Bad Request: Keyspace 'productgenomelocal' does not exist
> It seems that qoutes should only really be necessary when there's spaces or other symbols that need to be quoted. 
> At the least, the acceptance or failures of quotes should be consistent.
> Other minor annoyance: tab expansion works in use and describe with quotes, but will not work in either without quotes.
