Tupshin Harper commented on CASSANDRA-980: ------------------------------------------ I didn't know about https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-494 when I created this, but given the current API, I believe remove_range_slices is more appropriate than remove_slice. > It should be possible to delete columns by ranges > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-980 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-980 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.6 > Reporter: Tupshin Harper > Fix For: 0.7 > > Attachments: remove_range_slices.diff > > > It is not currently possible to delete a range of columns without retrieving > the range through the thrift interface and then deleting the columns by name. > An efficient implementation of this is dependent on > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-674, but it can at least be > accomplished server-side in the current implementation so as to avoid the > overhead of the client-side communication. I'm going to attach one proposed > implementation that adds a remove_range_slices api method for parallelism > with get_range_slices, but i'm not wedded to either the implementation nor > the particular api. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
