In Thrift API, I guess you need to use read/ insert and then delete to implement the move action.
If you can shut the Cassandra down, maybe you can try to sstable2json to export data out, and json2sstable to import back to different column family file? I did not do it before, but I guess it may work if they have same schema definition.

What I really meant was, moving or copying the ROWS defined by a KeyRange in between ColumnFamilies. Do you think it's doable with an efficient way?

Do you think it's somehow possible and doable with the current support of the API, if so how? Best Regards, Utku
