[jira] [Commented] (JENA-1410) Removing persistent dataset in Fuseki 3.4.0 doesn't work

["Phil Oliver (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1410?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16357312#comment-16357312 ] 

Phil Oliver commented on JENA-1410:
-----------------------------------

I argue that it's a bug. Precious data should be backed up. Having dataset deletion be incomplete for the sake of a last ditch data recovery effort isn't a virtue. It is:

1) Very aggravating, if the reasonable assumption is that deletion really means deletion. One can load test data into a dataset and want to completely remove it and recreate the dataset to start over, very legitimately.

2) A security risk. Say in a shared environment, somebody deletes a dataset with the reasonable assumption, again, that deletion really means deletion. Along comes somebody else in the environment and creates a dataset with the same name. Voila - now they have access to all of that supposedly deleted data. Suppose they shouldn't? They probably shouldn't.

> When a persistent dataset is deleted from Fuseki WEB GUI, the dataset folder in fuseki's databases folder and the dataset config ttl file in fuseki's configuration folder remain.
> I am running a Fuseki.war 3.4.0 in a Tomcat. Then, when i restart the Tomcat server, the deleted dataset reappears.
