It has something to do with the way data is deleted in Cassandra. You are not doing anything wrong. See here http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#range_ghosts Or here: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DistributedDeletes For some more detail

So I removed a row from the client, but when I query the data from CLI, the rowkey is still there: RowKey: 3 ------------------- RowKey: 2 => (column=6e616d65, value=42696c6c, timestamp=1297338131027004) ------------------- RowKey: 1 => (column=6e616d65, value=4a6f65, timestamp=1297420269035522) Did I do something wrong? What do I need to do in order to completely remove the entire row with its key. Thank you for the assistance. Kind regards, Joshua -- http://twitter.com/jpartogi
