------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1706
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1706
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: API
    Affects Versions: 0.8
            Reporter: Eric Evans
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.8


CQL specification and implementation for data removal.

This corresponds to the following RPC methods:

* remove()
* batch_mutate() (deleting, not updating)
* truncate() (?)

My thoughts on the syntax are that it can probably closely mirror a subset of 
`SELECT':

{code:SQL}
DELETE (FROM)? <CF> [USING CONSISTENCY.<LVL>] WHERE <EXPRESSION>
{code}

Optionally, you could support a form that makes the `WHERE' clause optional, 
statements without the clause would be interpreted as a column family 
truncation.
