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

             Summary: Allow range deletions in CQL
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6237
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6237
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
            Priority: Minor


We uses RangeTombstones internally in a number of places, but we could expose more directly too. Typically, given a table like:
{noformat}
CREATE TABLE events (
    id text,
    created_at timestamp,
    content text,
    PRIMARY KEY (id, created_at)
)
{noformat}
we could allow queries like:
{noformat}
DELETE FROM events WHERE id='someEvent' AND created_at < 'Jan 3, 2013';
{noformat}
