Add "count" and "del" commands to CLI
-------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-594
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-594
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools
    Affects Versions: 0.5
         Environment: all
            Reporter: gabriele renzi
             Fix For: 0.5


currently cassandra-cli does not 
* allow removal of columns
* allow visualization of column count for a row (useful for large sets)

The attached patch fixes this issue by adding three more commands, del <key>, 
del <key><col>, count <key>. 

No new tests were addded as I could not find any for the CLI, if I have time 
I'll maybe add some but this is not likely to happen soon. 

As an aside, IMVHO the cassandra cli would be better as a small lib loaded 
within jirb/jython, parsing would come for free, flexibility would be much 
larger and it could be autogenerated from the thrift api.
