Subject: Changing schema w/o losing data - Can it be done?

When I change schema I need to delete the commit logs - otherwise I get a
null pointer exception.

Is there a way that I can force Cassandra to empty the commit logs so I
won't lose data???

(There has not been much recent activity, nor is there much current
activity. There was only one log and it was only 54K.)
