Cassandra class Client.java usage from Eclipse console

[Xin Ren <re...@gmail.com>]

Cassandra version: 3.0

native protocol version: 4

Hi, I'm trying to start Cassandra server and client *within Eclipse*, and
just wondering the usage of this class org.apache.cassandra.transport.Client in
Cassandra source code.

I git cloned the source code and opened the project in Eclipse Luna, and
started the class org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon in Eclipse.

If I use command line terminal to start cqlsh by ./bin/cqlsh, then
everything would work fine.

But, if I start the Client class (org.apache.cassandra.transport.Client) *in
Eclipse* with arguments 127.0.0.1 9042 4, my in.readLine() from Eclipse
console is failed. (host and port information is right here, I've checked
the server info)

I've tried in Eclipse command line:

   - startup - working
   - desc tables - not working, "line 1:0 no viable alternative at input
   'desc' ([desc]...)"

In source code there are if-else statements to look for *STARTUP, QUERY,
PREPARE, EXECUTE, OPTIONS,* etc. I'm sure I'm not giving the correct
parameter for this class, and I tried to debug method *parseLine*() to find
the usage but failed.

I tried to google out some documentation on it but little was found. Anyone
knows the usage of this class from Eclipse console? Thank you very much.
