This is my first email, just started with Cassandra, I think you want to use Mutate object or something like it "The Mutation object can also be used to create new Columns or to delete a Column, if you supply it with a key that doesn't exist in the database it will create it, if it detects that the key already exists it will overwrite the value and the timestamp. " from a java tutorial on Cassandra. I may be wrong but thought I could try to help.
