'Literal string' |
Single quotation ( ' ) marks must surround literal strings in

value pairs. A colon separates the key and the value. |
<datatype1,datatype2> |
Set, list, map, or tuple. Angle brackets ( < > ) enclose

cql_statement; |
End CQL statement. A semicolon ( ; ) terminates all CQL
statements. |
[--] |
Separate the command line options from the command arguments with two hyphens (
-- ). This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for
command line options. |

Search CQL only: Single quotation marks ( ' ) surround an
entire XML schema declaration. |
@xml_entity='xml_entity_type' |
Search CQL only: Identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrConfig files. |

- To drop a materialized view in a keyspace other than the current keyspace, put the keyspace name in front of the materialized view name, followed by a period.
- view_name
- The name of the materialized view to drop
