Description

1. Create a term term1 under glossary glossary1 .
2. Create tag tag1.
3. Associate tag1 to term1.
4. Create a hive_db db1 .
5. Associate db1 to term1.
6. Drop db1.

When hard delete is configured , delete db entity operation fails with

Max retries exceeded for message [AtlasObjectId\{guid='null', typeName='hive_db', uniqueAttributes={qualifiedName:db12@cl1}}] (NotificationHookConsumer:531)
org.apache.atlas.exception.AtlasBaseException: Given instance guid 243874d4-9e5a-4411-b170-b73045a59267 is invalid/not found

Attached the complete stack trace.

Note:
In the following scenarios , delete works properly:
1. Deleting the db without any tag/term association
2. Deleting the db with either tag or term association
3. Deleting the db associated to a term and also a tag.

Issue happens only when the entity is associated to a term, which is associated to a tag.
