Ok, got a Cassandra client from Hector and changed my clean-up to be
truncate() based.
Here is how I did it, if it could be any use to anyone:
=============================================
HConnectionManager connectionManager = cassandraCluster.connectionManager
Collection<ConcurrentHClientPool> activePools =
connectionManager.activePools
ConcurrentHClientPool pool = activePools.iterator().next()
HThriftClient client = pool.borrowClient()
Cassandra.Client c = client.getCassandra()
c.set_keyspace(keyspaceName)
cfsToTrucate.each {cf ->
c.truncate(cf)
}
=============================================
Thanks to everyone who shared their inputs.
