alright, I've uploaded another patch with these updates: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12443391/CASSANDRA-531.patch
In this patch I completed all the thrift wiring work, including internal messaging to all hosts in the cluster. The patch includes all previous changes, no need to use the previous patches. I've changed the truncate method definition in cassandra.thrift and removed the timestamp from the truncation signature since it's not used. More changes are in the patch, including system test, thrift and messaging implementation, taking a snapshot and deleting the actual files.
