bq. Can someone re-work this to use the cli instead of python? 

We'll need a wrapper script to invoke the cli, then the documentation presented here can be easily adapted.

I can do this if it satisfies everyone's requirements and avoids us having to ship even more embedded third-party and generated code.

Eric Evans updated CASSANDRA-117:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: 117-v2.patch

This patch expands on Johan's guide, but uses the java cli client instead of Cassandra-remote. It also includes a shell wrapper to make starting the client more straight-forward.

--------------------------------------

    Attachment: CASSANDRA-117.patch

Very basic getting started section, should at least help give the user a good impression of how easy it can be to set up a minimal Cassandra installation.

Gah, had a minor typo in that last patch. This one should be good.

Sandeep Tata commented on CASSANDRA-117:
----------------------------------------

+1 to the quickstart info in the README. 

I agree with Michael that the wiki will probably point only to the latest version (although we could archive installation instructions for older releases).
I'd be wary of adding any other info that might be duplicated on the wiki, but installation + sample insert/read are good things to make easy.

Michael Greene commented on CASSANDRA-117:
------------------------------------------

The content on the wiki most likely will change between releases and reflect the most recent version(s).  When you're dealing with a release that's not the most recent, for whatever legacy reasons, it is helpful to have documentation.

Also, I assume Cassandra will eventually get proper packaging for different environments, and users may install it without discovery from the wiki.

-------------------------------------------

This is pretty much all I'm going to push for adding to the release readme file, I don't think it's too much to maintain.

Personally when I download some new tool I want to have a clear and concise, step by step guide on how to get it to do something. Even though Cassandra is in quite a niche market I think there's a high risk of losing potential users simply because they get stuck on the installation procedure. There's plenty of other problems out there for them, we should make this part the easy bit :)

do we really want to start reproducing wiki content in the source tree and keeping that in sync?  (if they didn't know about the wiki, how did they download it? :)
