Syntax conventions Description

Syntax conventions	Description
Italic, bold, or `< >`	Syntax diagrams and code samples use one or more of these styles to mark placeholders for variable values. Replace placeholders with a valid option or your own user-defined value. In CQL statements, angle brackets are required to enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma. For example: `<datatype2` In Search CQL statements, angle brackets are used to identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and `solrconfig` files, such as `@<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'`.
`[ ]`	Square brackets surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.
`( )`	Parentheses identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.
`\|`	A pipe separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the pipe.
`...`	Indicates that you can repeat the syntax element as often as required.
`'`	Single quotation marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case. + For Search CQL only: Single quotation marks surround an entire XML schema declaration, such as `'<<schema> ... </schema>>'`
`{ }`	Map collection. Curly braces enclose maps (`{ <key_datatype>:<value_datatype> }`) or key value pairs (`{ <key>:<value> }`). A colon separates the key and the value.
`;`	Ends a CQL statement.
`--`	Separate command line options from command arguments with two hyphens. This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.

In CQL statements, angle brackets are required to enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma. For example: <datatype2

In Search CQL statements, angle brackets are used to identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrconfig files, such as @<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'.

[ ]

Square brackets surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.

( )

Parentheses identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.

A pipe separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the pipe.

...

'

Single quotation marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case. + For Search CQL only: Single quotation marks surround an entire XML schema declaration, such as '<<schema> ... </schema>>'

{ }

Map collection. Curly braces enclose maps ({ <key_datatype>:<value_datatype> }) or key value pairs ({ <key>:<value> }). A colon separates the key and the value.

;

Ends a CQL statement.

--

Separate command line options from command arguments with two hyphens. This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.

cancel-token token: Cancel the specified token.

generate-token [username]

Generate delegation token to access Kerberos DSE from non-Kerberos clusters.

When the username is not specified, the current user is the token renewer. Only DSE processes can renew a token.
When the username is specified as the token renewer, that user can renew and cancel the token.

partitioner: Returns the partitioner that is being used by the node.

renew-token token: Renew the specified token.

Examples

Generate token for the current user

dse client-tool cassandra --generate-token

Generate token with user AdminAlicia as the token renewer</p>

dse client-tool cassandra generate-token --token-renewer AdminAlicia

Return the current partitioner

dse client-tool cassandra partitioner

Cancel specified token

dse client-tool cassandra cancel-token <token>

Renew specified token

dse client-tool cassandra renew-token <token>
