Lyuben Todorov resolved CASSANDRA-5274.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not a Problem

You can disable scientific notation by cranking up the value of the floating pointe precision for cqlsh using a cqlshrc file placed in the {{~/.cassandra}} directory ([Docs on how to do it|http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cql/3.0/cql/cql_reference/cqlsh.html#refCqlsh__cqlshUsingCqlshrc]). To increase the floating point precision so floats \/ doubles don't get abreviated add the {{float_precision}} setting under the {{\[UI\]}} section:

{noformat}
; Sample ~/.cqlshrc file.

[authentication]
;username = fred
;password = !!bang!!$

[ui]
color = on
completekey = tab
; increase floating point precision to avoid scientific notation. 
float_precision = 30

;; optional section, overrides default certfile in [ssl] section, if present
{noformat}
