Shri Javadekar created JCLOUDS-684: -------------------------------------- Summary: Add option to delete containers without deleting objects inside it Key: JCLOUDS-684 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-684 Project: jclouds Issue Type: New Feature Components: jclouds-blobstore Affects Versions: 1.8.0 Reporter: Shri Javadekar Fix For: 2.0.0
Some blobstores such as Microsoft Azure[1] have the ability to delete containers even when they are not empty. These object stores simply return after marking the containers for deletion and asynchronously delete the blobs and container in which the blobs exist. jclouds should have an option by which calling deleteContainer() should simply issue the delete request to the blobstore. It should not internally try and delete all the blobs in the container. [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179408.aspx -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
