Description

Log explaining the problem. Trouble happens at the "and replication_factor = 1" string

[default@unknown] connect cassandra2/9160;
Connected to: "Lab1" on cassandra2/9160

• Create a keyspace with a pretty simple definition
  [default@unknown] create keyspace foo
  ... with placement_strategy = 'SimpleStrategy'
  ... and strategy_options = [ {replication_factor : 1}

  ];
  f9e13340-d58f-11e0-0000-e3f60146f2df
  Waiting for schema agreement...
  ... schemas agree across the cluster
  [default@unknown] use foo;
  Authenticated to keyspace: foo

• Copy the schema so we can paste it later
  [default@foo] show schema;
  create keyspace foo
  and replication_factor = 1
  with placement_strategy = 'SimpleStrategy'
  and strategy_options = [ {replication_factor : 1}

  ];

use foo;

• Remove the keyspace, so we can paste the exact same text above
  [default@foo] drop keyspace foo;

  Waiting for schema agreement...
  ... schemas agree across the cluster

• Paste the schema shown above as result of the 'show schema' command
  [default@unknown] create keyspace foo
  ... and replication_factor = 1
  ... with placement_strategy = 'SimpleStrategy'
  ... and strategy_options = [ {replication_factor : 1}

  ];
  No enum constant org.apache.cassandra.cli.CliClient.AddKeyspaceArgument.REPLICATION_FACTOR

• Presented an error that should not occur if show schema generated valid text
