David Radley commented on ATLAS-2137:
-------------------------------------
[~madhan.neethiraj] . If we can allow renames (when safe to do so) then we
would not effect any instances. Deleting a type - presumably means we delete
all the instances - and then need to recreate them.
Tactically, I suggest that this Jira be used to throw an error on on renames.
Maybe when we implement versioning, renames could be made to work on a version
increase boundary.

> As far as I can see, if we attempt to rename an AtlasEntityDef, there is no
> checking around ensuring that any subtypes are processed.
> The code will resolveReferences and see the from the types edges to the
> subtypes - but the supertype names in the children will now mismatch the
> parent.
