Tupshin Harper commented on CASSANDRA-980:
------------------------------------------
I didn't know about https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-494 when I
created this, but given the current API, I believe remove_range_slices is more
appropriate than remove_slice.
> It should be possible to delete columns by ranges
> -------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-980
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-980
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Reporter: Tupshin Harper
> Fix For: 0.7
>
> Attachments: remove_range_slices.diff
>
>
> It is not currently possible to delete a range of columns without retrieving
> the range through the thrift interface and then deleting the columns by name.
> An efficient implementation of this is dependent on
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-674, but it can at least be
> accomplished server-side in the current implementation so as to avoid the
> overhead of the client-side communication. I'm going to attach one proposed
> implementation that adds a remove_range_slices api method for parallelism
> with get_range_slices, but i'm not wedded to either the implementation nor
> the particular api.
