Ayush Nigam commented on ATLAS-2498:
------------------------------------
Also rather than skipping deleted entities there can be a user defined
parameter in Client API where we can decided if want to force delete or not at
each entity level.
Suppose
{code:java}
atlasClientV2.deleteEntityByGuid("4d49ebc9-85e1-4d91-acdc-f5e316162d31" ,
true); // true means force delete entity weather it hard delete is enabled or
not.
{code}
> Soft and hard deletes, deleting a "DELETED" entity and cleanup of unused types

> Key: ATLAS-2498
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-2498
> Project: Atlas
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating
> Reporter: Mark Kiami
> Priority: Major
>
> Hello,
> Since the documentation on this feature not clear, could you please answer or
> confirm the following:
> # When an entity is deleted, its status goes to "DELETED", this is a soft
> delete.
> # Does Atlas version 0.8.0 support hard deletes (HDP 2.6.4 ships with 0.8.0)?
> # Is the atlas.DeleteHandler.impl configuration key supported in this
> version?
> # Is it possible to delete a "DELETED" entity?
> I am asking this because I am stuck in the following scenario:
> * Create a new ENTITY type named "custom_type"
> * Create an entity of that type "entity_1_of_custom_type", its status is
> "ACTIVE"
> * Delete the entity "entity_1_of_custom_type", its status is "DELETED"
> * Delete the ENTITY type named "custom_type"
> * I get an error: \{"errorCode":"ATLAS-409-00-002","errorMessage":"Given
> type custom_type has references"}
> How is it possible in this case to cleanup both the DELETED entity and the
> unused type "custom_type"?
> Thanks!
