> ColumnFamilies may be added when cassandr is not running by editing the configuration file.
> If you need to delete or re-order CFs, you must
> 1) kill cassandra
> 2) start it again and wait for log replay to finish
> 3) kill cassandra AGAIN
> Alternatively on Cassandra 0.4.2 or later:
> 1) run nodeprobe flush and wait for it to finish
> 2) kill cassandra
> Then:
> 4) make your edits (now there is no data in the commitlog)
> 5) manually remove the sstable files (-Data.db, -Index.db, and -Filter.db) for the CFs you removed, and rename files for CFs you renamed
> 6) start cassandra and your edits should take effect
