actually in 0.6.0 I committed this to trunk:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/contrib/javautils/src/main/java/org/apache/cassandra/contrib/utils/service/CassandraServiceDataCleaner.java
So it's quite similar to what I you have in hector.

A few words of warning though:
- this wipes out the entire data directory, all CFs
- assumes you're using a local and embedded service; great for unit testing,
but I don't know if this is your case
- if indeed in unit-testing, make sure you run each test in a new jvm as the
embedded server needs to be completely killed before a new one can be
started (in ant, just fork)
