I figured out the problem. The DELETE query only works if the column used in the WHERE clause
is also the first column used to define the PRIMARY KEY.

It is better to provide table definition. I guess the reason is below statement.
" a table must define at least one column that is not part of the PRIMARY KEY as a row exists
in Cassandra only if it contains at least one value for one such column "
Please check this document here<http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/cql3/CQL.html#createKeyspaceStmt>.

I have a column family called "books", and am trying to delete all rows where the "title"
column is equal to "hatchet". This is the query I am using:
DELETE FROM books WHERE title = 'hatchet';
This query is failing with this error:
Bad Request: PRIMARY KEY part title found in SET part
I am using Cassandra 1.1 and CQL 3.0. What could be the problem?
