Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-6599:
----------------------------------------------
Right. What I'm uncertain about is whether or not the sugar is worth the extra
code/inconsistency introduces, once there is already a simple enough way to do
it.
> CQL updates should support "column = column - { key1, key2, ... }" syntax for
> removing map elements

> A variable number number of elements can be removed from lists and sets using
> an update statement of the form "update .... set column=column - {....} where
> ...". This syntax should also be supported for map columns. This would be
> especially useful for prepared statements (I know that you can use "set
> column[...] = null" to remove items in an update statement, but that only
> works for one element at a time).
