alter_column_family (thrift based pycassa) drop a column

[Kumar Ranjan]

Hey folks,

I used create_column_family to create a CF but made a typo and I need to
use alter_column_family to drop that column and re-create with correct
name? Can you help with the syntax?

here is what I use for alter_column_family:

SYSTEM_MANAGER.alter_column_family('Narrative','Instagram_Tags',default_validation_class='UTF8Type',super=True,
comparator='UTF8Type',key_validation_class='UTF8Type',
column_validation_classes=validators)

where validators={'longitude': 'DoubleType', 'latitude':  'DoubleType',}
