CREATE TABLE failing (wrong CQL version) - cassandra

Question

Creating tables failing with inet, multiple primary keys, and collections. Syntax was correct.
Error messages don't make sense with the primary key (unmatched parens). remove that, I learned that inet won't work except in some cases.
Anything I'm doing wrong, or not understanding about using CQL3 (interfaces or syntax)?
CREATE TABLE session (
'user_id' bigint,
'admin_id' bigint,
'session_id' varchar,
'cache' text ,
'created' timestamp ,
'hits' list<timestamp>,
'ip' inet ,
PRIMARY KEY ( 'session_id' , 'user_id' )
);
The following also fails
CREATE TABLE 'session' (
'user_id' bigint,
'session_id' varchar,
PRIMARY KEY ( 'session_id' , 'user_id' )
);
This works
CREATE TABLE 'session' (
'user_id' bigint,
'session_id' varchar PRIMARY KEY
);
The clue

blob
boolean
counter
decimal
double
float
int
text
timestamp
uuid
varchar
varint
DSE 3.0.x
[EDIT] - turns out DSE has Cassandra 1.1.x installed.

Answer 1

TL;DR: Collections (part of CQL3) not available yet in DSE 3.0.x
Also worth noting, but unrelated to my issue:
Even in Datastax community edition - one needs to activate CQL3. The documentation says it should be activated by default in cqlsh
http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/cql_cli/using_cql
"Activating CQL 3
You activate the CQL mode in one of these ways:
Use the DataStax Java Driver to activate CQL through the
native/binary protocol. Start cqlsh, a Python-based command-line
client.
Use the set_sql_version Thrift method.
Specify the desired CQL mode in the connect() call to the Python driver:
*connection = cql.connect('localhost:9160', cql_version='3.0')*
The documentation there was incorrect also, should be
con = cql.connect('localhost', cql_version='3.0.0')
Also, Enterprise Opcenter doesn't yet support CQL 3 in DSE.
cqlsh --cqlversion=3
