Hi Madhan Could you please look at the following and tell me whether the following look like sensible requirements for Atlas?
To support the OMRS interface, I would like to be able to: soft delete an entity/relationship - this can fail if Atlas is configured only for hard-deletes. hard delete (purge) an entity/relationship - this is needed even when Atlas is configured for soft deletes. restore (un-delete) an entity/relationship that was soft-deleted be able to purge (hard delete) an entity/relationship that was already soft-deleted. inquire whether a delete will be soft or hard (before issuing the delete) - I guess being able to safely inspect the configuration would b an option here, but an API might be better. find out whether an entity/relationship was soft- or hard-deleted after the delete operation. For this I could just try to retrieve the entity/relationship but it would be neater to known from the return value. I don't think the EntityMutationResponse includes that detail. I know the requestContext is updated to include the deleted entities but that seems to be before the delegation to either the soft or hard delete handler, so I suspect it cannot indicate whether the delete was ultimately soft or hard). I'm not sure how I would get that information that for relationships.
