Why is it when I removed a row the RowKey is still there?

[Joshua Partogi <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am very puzzled with this. So I removed a row from the client, but
when I query the data from CLI, the rowkey is still there:
RowKey: 3
-------------------
RowKey: 2
=> (column=6e616d65, value=42696c6c, timestamp=1297338131027004)
-------------------
RowKey: 1
=> (column=6e616d65, value=4a6f65, timestamp=1297420269035522)


Did I do something wrong? What do I need to do in order to completely
remove the entire row with its key.

Thank you for the assistance.

Kind regards,
Joshua

It has something to do with the way data is deleted in Cassandra. You are not doing anything wrong.
See here http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#range_ghosts
Or here: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DistributedDeletes
For some more detail
