Chaitanya Atreya commented on SLING-2415:
-----------------------------------------
In general, a RESTful parent node could have a sling:resourceType or other
useful metadata that one wouldn't want to lose. However, in order to delete all
its children, the only way is to delete the parent node as well (thus losing
the sling:resourceType and a possible rendering of this parent page), which
will then have to be recreated to bring the system back to normalcy. There
surely must be a better way than this.

> Provide a way to delete all the child nodes of a given node in the
> SlingPostServlet, without deleting the parent node itself.
> There are many situations where one might want to delete only the child
> nodes, while keeping the parent node intact.
> One way to do this now is to use the :applyTo request parameter for each
> child node. However, this requires first fetching all the child nodes, which
> can be avoided with this feature.
