In Hector, I see a *dropColumnFamily()* that goes to Cassandra's * system_drop_column_family()* call. I am not sure how this system_drop_column_family() fares in comparision to truncate() in terms of time the clean-up would take. I am new to Hector/Cass and all my exposure to Cass API has been through Hector. So a basic question. If Hector has not provided truncate() to its API, can I bypass it and make the call to Cassandra API directly? Does Hector leave any opening for such bypassed calls? Thanks.
