[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6237) Allow range deletions in CQL

["Benedict (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6237?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14273033#comment-14273033 ] 

Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-6237:
-------------------------------------

It seems that a BETWEEN syntax would be useful for this ticket also, since not all range deletions will be strict prefixes/suffixes.

> 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}
