How do i provide options to cassandra cqlsh?

[africaele]

The default location for cassandra cqlsh options is, /home/<user>/.cassandra
a file called cqlshrc.

$ pwd
/home/trainer/.cassandra
$ ls
cqlsh_history  cqlshrc  nodetool.history

A template for the default file can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/conf/cqlshrc.sample
