Aleksei Zotov commented on CASSANDRA-16806:
-------------------------------------------

{quote}{{DELETE}} operations are included in the {{PartitionUpdate}} that the 
{{VirtualTable.apply}} method will receive so we do not need to change anything 
at the statement level or in the interface.
{quote}
Actually there is a need for a small change on statement level:
{code:java}
checkFalse(metadata.isVirtual(), "Virtual tables don't support DELETE 
statements");{code}
[https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/bf96367f4d55692017e144980cf17963e31df127/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/cql3/statements/DeleteStatement.java#L148]

Apart from that change, deletion from VTs needs to be covered by corresponding 
tests as well as documentation needs to be updated. I have these changes ready. 
We just need to decide whether we include them here or raise a separate ticket. 
Please, let me know your thoughts.

> {{TRUNCATE}} statements are currently not supported by Virtual Tables. For 
> some Virtual Tables it makes sense to allow it.
> It can be done by adding a {{truncate}} method to the {{VirtualTable}} 
> interface and calling that method from {{TruncateStatement}}. The default 
> implementation of the method should be to fire an {{InvalidRequestException}} 
> saying that truncate is not supported on that specific table.
