[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-9585) Make "truncate table X" an alias for "truncate X"

J.B. Langston created CASSANDRA-9585:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Make "truncate table X" an alias for "truncate X"
                 Key: CASSANDRA-9585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9585
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: J.B. Langston


CQL syntax is inconsistent: it's "drop table X" but "truncate X". It used to trip me up all the time until I wrapped my brain around this inconsistency and it still triggers a tiny bout of OCD every time I type it.  I realize it's too late to change it,  but why not have both? "truncate table X" is also consistent with the syntax in SQL.
