datastax enterprise - How can I find out which version of Cassandra a specific DSE is running?

Question

So far, I haven't found a place on Datastax documentation website that sums this up. Can I easily check the version some other way on a server?

Answer 1

Open cqlsh and type show VERSION.

This gives all the versions of cqlsh, DSE, Cassandra etc.

admin@cqlsh> SELECT cql_version FROM system.local;

 cql_version
-------------
       3.4.0

Also, nodetool version shows the Cassandra version
