Of course:
>From CQL 2 (cqlsh -2):
delete '183#16684','183#16714','183#16717' from myCF where key = 'all';
And selecting this data as follow gives me the result above:
select '1228#16857','1228#16866','1228#16875','1237#16544','1237#16553'
from myCF where key = 'all';
>From thrift (phpCassa client):
$pool = new ConnectionPool('myKeyspace', array('192.168.100.201'), 6, 0,
30000, 30000);
$my_cf= new ColumnFamily($pool, 'myCF', true, true,
ConsistencyLevel::QUORUM, ConsistencyLevel::QUORUM);
$my_cf->remove('all', array('1228#16857','1228#16866','1228#16875'));
