Bad Request: line 1:0 no viable alternative at input 'clear' - cassandra

I installed cassandra and run cqlsh:
Connected to Test Cluster at localhost:9160.
[cqlsh 4.1.1 | Cassandra 2.0.10 | CQL spec 3.1.1 | Thrift protocol 19.39.0]
Use HELP for help.
and enter clear command on cqlsh. But i got this
cqlsh> clear;
Bad Request: line 1:0 no viable alternative at input 'clear'
cqlsh> clear
... ;
Bad Request: line 1:0 no viable alternative at input 'clear'
cqlsh>

the clear command was added in Cassandra 2.2.1 (commit) and you're using very old 2.0.10. If you just learning Cassandra, start with Cassandra 4.x, not use the version that was released 8 years ago...

Cassandra configuration config by cqlsh

Cassandra version: 3.9, CQLSH version: 5.0.1
Can I query Cassandra configuration (cassandra.yaml) using cqlsh?
No, it's not possible in your version. It's possible only starting with Cassandra 4.0 that has so-called virtual tables, and there is a special table for configurations: system_views.settings:
cqlsh:test> select * from system_views.settings ;
name | value
-------------------------------------------------+-------
transparent_data_encryption_options_enabled | false
transparent_data_encryption_options_iv_length | 16
trickle_fsync | false
trickle_fsync_interval_in_kb | 10240
truncate_request_timeout_in_ms | 60000
....
You can find more information on the virtual tables in the following blog post from TLP.
In the meantime, you can access configuration parameters via JMX.

cassandra version Error

Hi anyone instruct me which version of cassandra should I use to run cqlsh-3.4.3, So that i will be able to run GROUP BY queries.
Currently My environment is
[cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.9 | CQL spec 3.4.2 | Native protocol v4]
Error on trying bin/cqlsh --cqlversion=3.4.3
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': ProtocolError("cql_version '3.4.3' is not supported by remote (w/ native protocol). Supported versions: [u'3.4.2']",)})
Please Suggest.Thanks.
Same Error while tried with cassandra 3.7 Also.
You can try to force cqlsh to use a specific cql version using the option
--cqlversion="#.#.#"
example: cqlsh 127.0.0.1 9042 --cqlversion="3.2.0" (in your case: 3.4.2)
example of mine:
me#XXX:~$ cqlsh <cassandra_ip>
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {<cassandra_ip>: ProtocolError("cql_version '3.4.2' is not supported by remote (w/ native protocol). Supported versions: [u'3.3.1']",)})
me#XXX:~$ cqlsh <cassandra_ip> --cqlversion="3.3.1"
Connected to UAT Analytics Cluster at <cassandra_ip>:9042.
[cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 2.2.8 | CQL spec 3.3.1 | Native protocol v4]
Use HELP for help.
cqlsh>
UPDATE
(1) group by will be supported in CQL 3.4.3 and Cassandra 3.10.
(2) It is not recommended to upgrade CQL spec for Cassandra of specific version. OR it is impossible to upgrade CQL spec version for one Cassandra version (here).
(3) In order to use group by, you should upgrade cassandra to 3.10, OR user defined functions, OR change your table design...

Apache Cassandra - cqlsh operation timeout

I am trying to start cqlsh and this is what I get:
/bin$ ./cqlsh
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1':
OperationTimedOut('errors=None, last_host=None',)})
I tried removing ~/.cassandra, did not work. I also compared cassandra.yaml with a version that worked.
Any ideas?
posting on this old thread as a memo for others, as i couln't managed to find any info to resolve these symptoms without debugging up to now:
got the same issue with a slow testing cluster, and i resolved it by setting a missing control_connection_timeout kwargs in Cluster() init, in cqlsh.py file.
issue opened and patch proposal provided at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10959
Depending on your version and configuration, check the values specified for listen_address and/or rpc_address in your cassandra.yaml. If they are defined to anything other than localhost, you will need to provide that address when connecting with cqlsh.
$ grep listen_address: /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml
listen_address: 210.156.89.15
$ cqlsh 210.156.89.15 -u aploetz -p aploetz

cqlsh DESCRIBE TABLE foo returns only "u'type'"

I have a keyspace foo and a simple table bar with a few columns.
When I run:
cqlsh DESCRIBE TABLE foo.bar;
cqlsh simply returns:
u'type'
My understanding is that cqlsh should output a list of CQL commands that could be used to recreate the given keyspace, and the tables in it.
I am using:
[cqlsh 4.1.1 | Cassandra 1.2.18 | CQL spec 3.0.1 | Thrift protocol 19.36.2]
Any ideas?

Node is unreachable in single node Cassandra installation

I have a problem with a single node Cassandra installation.
I can start it without any errors in the log.
I can create a keyspace, create tables, insert and delete data.
However truncate is not working
cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE mykeyspace WITH REPLICATION = {'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': 1};
cqlsh> use mykeyspace;
cqlsh:mykeyspace> create table test1 (num int, primary key (num));
cqlsh:mykeyspace> insert into test1 (num) values (12);
cqlsh:mykeyspace> select * from test1;
num
-----
12
(1 rows)
cqlsh:mykeyspace> truncate test1;
Unable to complete request: one or more nodes were unavailable.
Also if I try to run nodetool describecluster it doesn't return complete response
[XXXX#XXXX dsc-cassandra-2.0.6]$ ./bin/nodetool describecluster
Cluster Information:
Name: Test Cluster
Snitch: org.apache.cassandra.locator.DynamicEndpointSnitch
Partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner
Schema versions:
UNREACHABLE: [127.0.0.1]
I'm using
Cassandra DSC 2.0.6.
Red Hat 5.8.
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
I get responses for ping 127.0.0.1 and ping localhost
I checked all the ports that I am aware of cassandra may need (7000, 9160, 7199, 9042) using telnet - for example
telnet 127.0.0.1 7199
telnet localhost 7199
I can connect to these ports.
I'm using the default cassandra.yaml. These are the lines where either IP or hostname shows up
listen_address: localhost
rpc_address: localhost
seed_provider:
- class_name: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider
parameters:
- seeds: "127.0.0.1"
I also looked into the source code. I believe the problem can be close to the method org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxyMBean.describeSchemaVersions(). Most likely I get no response to the SCHEMA_CHECK message.
I tried to enable TRACE log in log4j for nodetool (conf/log4j-tools.properties) to get more information about the issue, but somehow log4j didn't start logging (it did create the file that I set in the appender, but the file was empty.)
There must be something specific to this environment because I can't repeat this problem in any other environments. So I can't figure out what's causing it.
The problem was that Cassandra couldn't load snappy.
org.xerial.snappy.SnappyError: [FAILED_TO_LOAD_NATIVE_LIBRARY] null
at org.xerial.snappy.SnappyLoader.load(SnappyLoader.java:239)
at org.xerial.snappy.Snappy.<clinit>(Snappy.java:48)
at org.xerial.snappy.SnappyOutputStream.<init>(SnappyOutputStream.java:79)
at org.xerial.snappy.SnappyOutputStream.<init>(SnappyOutputStream.java:66)
at org.apache.cassandra.net.OutboundTcpConnection.connect(OutboundTcpConnection.java:359)
at org.apache.cassandra.net.OutboundTcpConnection.run(OutboundTcpConnection.java:150)
I turned off compression in cassanda.yaml
internode_compression: none
Now both nodetool describecluster and I truncate work.
I also found a similar post here Cassandra Startup Error 1.2.6 on Linux x86_64
Since I can't install another glibc on this machine for the sake of testing I downloaded snappy-java-1.0.4.1.jar and replaced libsnappyjava.so in my snappy-java-1.0.5.jar
With this jar I was able to run cassandra with
internode_compression: all
(I have glibc 2.5 installed)
