Description

Escaping quotes in cli commands causes parsing errors.

some examples::::
No need to create columns etc, it doesn't get through parsing the expression::

cassandra-cli

1.
set column['KEY+vals'][VALUE] = 'VAL\'' ;
Syntax error at position 41: mismatched character '<EOF>' expecting '''

2.
set column['KEY+val\'s'][VALUE] = 'VAL' ;
Syntax error at position 41: mismatched character '<EOF>' expecting '''

3.
set column['KEY+vals\''][VALUE] = 'VAL\'' ;
Syntax error at position 38: unexpected "\" for `set column['KEY+vals\''][VALUE] = 'VAL\'' ;`.
