The DROP TRIGGER statement removes the registration of a trigger created using CREATE TRIGGER. Apache Cassandra™ 2.1.1 and later supports the IF EXISTS syntax for dropping a trigger. Cassandra checks for the existence of the trigger before dropping it.

The Trigger API is semi-private and subject to change.
