title: Cassandra - Difference between CLI and CQL
body: <p>I am new to Cassandra and learning the things. I have seen there are several Cassandra Client APIs, such as <code>Cassandra CLI</code> , <code>CQL</code> etc. I need to know what exactly the difference between <code>CLI</code> and <code>CQL</code> ? Which one shall be better to use ? Also, what are the client APIs available to query Cassandra using .NET ?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
