public class Deleter
extends Mutation

A mutation for deleting an entity class or field.

WARNING: The data for the deleted class or field will be destroyed and will be recoverable only by restoring from backup. If you wish to convert the instance data to a different type or format, use a Conversion mutation instead.

For example, to delete a field:

  package my.package;

  // The old class.  Version 0 is implied.
  //
  @Entity
  class Person {
      String name;
      String favoriteColors;
  }

  // The new class.  A new version number must be assigned.
  //
  @Entity(version=1)
  class Person {
      String name;
  }

  // Add the mutation for deleting a field.
  //
  Mutations mutations = new Mutations();

  mutations.addDeleter(new Deleter(Person.class.getName(), 0,
                                   "favoriteColors");

  // Configure the mutations as described here.

To delete an entity class:

  package my.package;

  // The old class.  Version 0 is implied.
  //
  @Entity
  class Statistics {
      ...
  }

  // Add the mutation for deleting a class.
  //
  Mutations mutations = new Mutations();

  mutations.addDeleter(new Deleter("my.package.Statistics", 0));

  // Configure the mutations as described here.
