Deleting a set

[rogerpueyo]

The Beatless were, back in the '60s, amazing:

curl localhost:3000/set/add/state-of-the-art/beatless/johnny
ok
$ curl localhost:3000/set/add/state-of-the-art/beatless/paulus
ok
$ curl localhost:3000/set/add/state-of-the-art/beatless/georgia
ok
$ curl localhost:3000/set/add/state-of-the-art/beatless/bringo
ok
$ curl localhost:3000/set/read/state-of-the-art/beatless
["johnny","paulus","georgia","bringo"]

At some point they decided to split, but their work remains in our hearts:

curl localhost:3000/set/add/oldies-but-goldies/60s/beatless
ok

Since they are not part of the state of the art, can The Beatless be removed from the "state-of-the-art" bucket?

I'm not sure if this is supported by AntidoteDB itself.

You can remove objects that are inside a map; but I don't think you can remove objects/keys from a bucket.
I believe this was planned for future work, but I'm not sure of the status.

Antidote supports a reset operation as an alternative which reverts the objects to their zero-values, but this is not directly accessible through the Antidote TypeScript Client which is how the REST server communicates with Antidote.
I can emulate it if needed (probably with 2 roundtrips), but... :-)

Here is an example of deleting keys in a map using the Antidote Java Client. That's the closest I think that exists.
