When attempting to show a session in CQLSH i'm getting an excessive amount of white space between each returned line, is there a way of removing the whitespace as what i'm getting is unreadable.
An example is below, i've trimmed hundreds of lines of whitespace, leaving enough in to demonstrate the point.
cqlsh:system_traces> SHOW SESSSION sessionid

The solution to the problem is to output to a file as directed by: StackOverflow - Export cassandra query result to a csv file and read it with a text editor such as vim that can handle a crazy amount of whitespace without lagging.
What happened was there were an exceedingly large number of token ranges which stretched the width of a column so that each proceeding row needed a very large amount of whitespace to keep formatting.
