Actually, it was pointed out to me that there's a comment in
org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy#cas() that says:
// finish the paxos round w/ the desired updates
// TODO turn null updates into delete?
Commit proposal = Commit.newProposal(key, ballot, updates);
so it looks like the deletes I wanted have not been implemented yet. I'd be
interested to know if there's a bug that I can track for this, though.
Thanks,
Kalpana
