How to delete a Type in Atlas?

jenaro_gallego — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 14:22:55 GMT

Hi all,

I'm doing some tests with Atlas Rest-API managing types, entities, etc. I've been able to create types, entities and delete entities... but what about delete a Type?. I've not found information about that...

Thanks!

If you are on version 0.8.0 or later of Atlas (HDP 2.6 and up), the version 2.0 APIs support deleting a type via the a DELETE operation on the types/typededfs API:

DELETE /v2/types/typedefs (with JSON payload specifying the typedef to delete)

The legacy (v1) API only supports GET, PUT and POST operations on types.

Thanks William, I had seen those APIs but the first tests I did were unsuccessful... I'll insist.

I'll share the findings as soon as possible.

If that's failing, keep in mind you won't be able to delete the type if there are entities in the typedef.
