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

             Summary: CQL identifier regex in documentation is wrong, (or cqlsh doesn't implement correctly)
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6019
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6019
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation & website
            Reporter: Ryan McGuire
            Priority: Minor


The [CQL docs|http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/cql3/CQL.html#identifiers] state that a CQL identifier can be any characters [a-zA-Z0-9_]*. ,but in fact, they cannot start with an '_' or a number.

Empirically, it looks like the regex should be [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_].*
