This commit moves the Features page from the section for developers
to the top level in the page tree. This involves:
- Moving the source files to the *features* folder from the  *using-scylla* folder.
- Moving images into *features/images* folder.
- Updating references to the moved resources.
- Adding redirections to the moved pages.

Row deletions
-------------
Row deletions are operations where you delete an entire clustering row by using a ``DELETE`` statement, specifying the values of all clustering key columns, but **not** specifying any particular regular column.
The following is an example of a row deletion with CDC enabled.
#. Start with a basic table and insert some data into it.
.. code-block:: cql
CREATE TABLE ks.t (pk int, ck int, v int, PRIMARY KEY (pk, ck)) WITH cdc = {'enabled': 'true'};
INSERT INTO ks.t (pk, ck, v) VALUES (0,0,0);
#. Display the contents of the table
.. code-block:: cql
SELECT * from ks.t;
returns:
.. code-block:: none
pk | ck | v
----+----+---
0 | 0 | 0
(1 rows)
#. Remove the row where the primary key 0 and the clustering key is 0.
.. code-block:: cql
DELETE FROM ks.t WHERE pk = 0 AND ck = 0;
#. Check that after performing a row deletion, querying the deleted row returns 0 results:
.. code-block:: cql
SELECT * from ks.t WHERE pk = 0 AND ck = 0;
returns:
.. code-block:: none
pk | ck | v
----+----+------
(0 rows)
Note that row deletions *are different than column deletions*, which are ``DELETE`` statements with some particular non-key column specified, like the following:
.. code-block:: cql
DELETE v FROM ks.t WHERE pk = 0 AND ck = 0;
Column deletions are equivalent to UPDATEs with the column set to null, e.g.:
.. code-block:: cql
UPDATE ks.t SET v = null WHERE pk = 0 AND ck = 0;
You can read about UPDATEs in the :ref:`corresponding section <updates>`.
