What is the best way to delete column data from a Cassandra cluster after
it is backed up with snapshots (using Priam or otherwise) to a stable
storage?
We dont want to use the TTL option, since we would like to restore the
backed-up data in the Cassandra cluster at a later time. Setting a TTL
Not sure what client you use to interact with C*. In your scenario I assume it
is CQL.
So what can go wrong with TRUNCATE?

We are using the cassandra thrift interface to interact with Cassandra.
In our use case, we store time-series data with one column per day (per
row-key) , and we have a fixed number of column families to store data over
