> Sometimes you want to delete an entire columnfamily. If there is a lot of
> data, it's much faster to just insert something to the commitlog saying
> "truncated," and drop the memtable and data files.
> Probably should require this to block for all replicas to ack to avoid
> unpleasant surprises. Or make it local-only and have ops manage making sure
> it gets to all replicas.
