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? Regards Arthur From: Suruchi Deodhar Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 12:23 PM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Deleting column data from Cassandra without setting its TTL 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 would enable the tombstone marker, which would make it impossible to restore data. What are the available options in Cassandra 1.2.5 in particular? Thanks!
