Description

Currently DELETE API only returns status code and no body. This doesn't fit well in bulk delete scenario as user needs to know which keys were deleted and which one failed and why. For this, ResourceProvider needs to return metadata as part of RequestStatus object which can be translated to metadata for Result object at API layer.

At API layer, for all failed keys, reason code (like 404) is required which will make scripting easy instead of just including error message as string.

DELETE response json object should be

{
  "deleteResult" : [
    {
      "deleted" : {
        "key" : "<resource-key>"
      }
    },
    {
      "deleted" : {
        "key" : "<resource-key>"
      }
    },
    ...
    {
      "error" : {
        "key" : "<resource-key>",
        "code" : 404,
        "message" : "Resource not found"
      }
    },
    {
      "error" : {
        "key" : "<resource-key>",
        "code" : 404,
        "message" : "Resource not found"
      }
    },
    ...
  ]
}
