I'm not really sure how that "null" value will be interpreted. It's
entirely possible that this won't actually delete the field.
I think we need a "delete" action for Atomic Updates, to entirely remove
the field regardless of what it currently contains. There is "remove"
and "removeRegex", which MIGHT be enough, but I think delete would be
useful syntactic sugar.
Dan, can you give the following update JSON a try instead? I am not
guaranteeing that this will do the job, but given the current
functionality, I think this is the option most likely to work:
{
"id":"my_id",
"popularity":{"removeRegex":".*"}
}
Thanks,
Shawn
