Description

python-driver is hitting 1.0 soon. cassandra-dbapi2 development has stalled.

It's time to switch cqlsh to native protocol and cassandra-dbapi2, especially now that
1. Some CQL3 things are not supported by Thrift transport
2. cqlsh no longer has to support CQL2 (dropped in 2.0)

Issue Links

• breaks: CASSANDRA-6850 cqlsh won't startup
• is duplicated by: CASSANDRA-8644 Cassandra node going down while running "COPY TO" command on around 7lakh records.....
