["paul cannon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4350?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13409945#comment-13409945 ] 

paul cannon commented on CASSANDRA-4350:
----------------------------------------

How are you starting cqlsh? Do you have anything in your ~/.cqlshrc file?

And do you get the right version number if you issue the following query in cqlsh:

{noformat}
select version from system.Versions where component = 'build';
{noformat}

or for cql3:
{noformat}
select version from system."Versions" where component = 'build';
{noformat}

> It looks like either the docs are wrong or the functionality is wrong.  The docs for show version say:
> {quote}
> Shows the version and build of the connected Cassandra instance, well as the versions of the CQL spec and the Thrift protocol that the connected Cassandra instance understands.
> {quote}
> On a cassandra node in the ring, I do nodetool -h localhost version and it outputs the correct version (1.0.8).  From a remote node with 1.0.9 installed, I run nodetool -h <same_node_in_ring> version.  It outputs the correct version.  However when I start cqlsh, it shows the remote node's version (1.0.9).  Also when I use the 'show version;' command in cqlsh, it also prints out 1.0.9.
> So either the docs are incorrect and it just outputs the version of the local build or there's a bug in show version and the startup output and it should really show the version of the connected node.
