Thanks for following up. I couldn't find any doc on this but will give a
good look at the source next time! That is if time permits.

> I use the cassandra-cli to create schemas, update schemas, and make other calls to interrogate keyspaces and columns. I load pre-written statements from files using the -f option, example: "bin/cassandra-cli -host localhost -port 9160 -f mystatements.txt". It would be useful if I could comment my statement files with comments similar to how you can comment script and C++/Java code.
> Example contents of "mystatements.txt" file:
> update column family users                    // This is my column which holds all my user information
>         with comparator = UTF8Type            // My column names are all strings so I will use UTF8Type
>         and key_validation_class = UTF8Type   // My row key values are also UTF8Type
>         and default_validation_class = UTF8Type // Column values will be UTF8Type
>         and column_metadata = [
>                 {column_name: username, validation_class: UTF8Type}, // This column stores the login name of the user
>                 {column_name: realname, validation_class: UTF8Type}];// This column stores the real world name of user
