Benyi ; 
have you considered using the TTL option in case your columns are meant to be 
deleted after a predetermined amount of time ? Its probably the easiest way to 
get the task accomplished.

 In C* 2.1.2, is there a way you can delete without specifying the row key?
create table (  guid text,  key1 text,  key2 text,  data int  primary key 
(guid, key1, key2));
delete from a_table where key1='<kv1>' and key2='<kv2>';
I'm trying to avoid doing like this:* query the table to get guids (32 bytes 
long) * send back delete queries like this
delete from a_table where guid in (...) and key1='<kv1>' and kye2='<kv2>'.
key1 and key2 only have 3~4 values, if I try to create multiple tables like 
table_kvi_kvj, it will be easy to delete, but results in the large dataset 
because of the duplicated guids.
Because the CQL model will create a cassandra column family like 
guid, kv1-kv2, .., kvi-kvj, ..., kvn-kvm, ...
Is there an API can drop columns in a column familty?
