---------------------------------------------------------------------

updating a type by removing optional attributes doesn't affect entities based on the old type, the schema of the type is changed and the value of the removed attribute still exists in titan db for older entities, but its not surfaced in REST API and UI. 

when you create a new entity and include value for removed attribute, it will be ignored by atlas and the attribute value will not be stored in titan.
