Thanks Jaydeep. On first insertion, I inserted data using Thrift API programmatically. So, I could specify the timestamp which is the current system time. However, for deleting the columns I used command line client that comes with Cassandra. I have no way to specify delete timestamp in command line client. so I dont know whats exactly delete timestamp.
Unless, I know whats delete stimestamp, I have no way to compare timestamps?
