-----------------------------------------
Jonathan could you explain in the ticket your thoughts on this (no need for
Zookeeper)? You told me in IRC, but I forgot and having it on record is best.
> It is difficult to modify the set of ColumnFamliies in an existing cluster

> ColumnFamilies may be added when cassandr is not running by editing the
> configuration file.
> If you need to delete or re-order CFs, you must
> 1) kill cassandra
> 2) start it again and wait for log replay to finish
> 3) kill cassandra AGAIN
> 4) make your edits (now there is no data in the commitlog)
> 5) manually remove the sstable files (-Data.db, -Index.db, and -Filter.db)
> for the CFs you removed, and rename files for CFs you renamed
> 6) start cassandra and your edits should take effect
