             Summary: Soft and hard deletes
                 Key: ATLAS-2498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-2498
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating
            Reporter: Mark Kiami


Hello,

Since the documentation on this feature not clear, could you please answer or confirm the following:
 # When an entity is deleted, its status goes to "DELETED", this is a soft delete.
 # Does Atlas version 0.8.0 support hard deletes (HDP 2.6.4 ships with 0.8.0)?
 # Is the atlas.DeleteHandler.impl configuration key supported in this version?
 # Is it possible to delete a "DELETED" entity?

I am asking this because I am stuck in the following scenario:
 * Create a new ENTITY type named "custom_type"
 * Create an entity of that type "entity_1_of_custom_type", its status is "ACTIVE"
 * Delete the entity "entity_1_of_custom_type", its status is "DELETED"
 * Delete the ENTITY type named "custom_type"
 * I get an error: \{"errorCode":"ATLAS-409-00-002","errorMessage":"Given type custom_type has references"}

How is it possible in this case to cleanup both the DELETED entity and the unused type "custom_type"?

Thanks!
