[jira] [Commented] (FALCON-75) Falcon CLI for deleting entities should inform user if entity does not exist

["Srikanth Sundarrajan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-75?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13745189#comment-13745189 ] 

Srikanth Sundarrajan commented on FALCON-75:
--------------------------------------------

This is by design. Please refer http://falcon.incubator.apache.org/docs/FalconArchitecture.html#Idempotency (Documentation does require some fixes relating to grammatical errors etc, will raise a separate JIRA to track that.)

Perhaps we can change the response message from the CLI to convey an appropriate message.

> If you delete an entity that does not exist (key/handle is wrong) it tells you it was successful. The system should mention that the entity is not found/does not exist. It's misleading otherwise:
> [root@cos6-07 falcon-0.3-incubating]#bin/falcon entity -type cluster -delete -name secondary-clusterblah
> falcon/secondary-clusterblah(cluster) removed successfully
