Does the RestEmitter in Java support delete via a MetadataChangeProposal? My analysis of the code tells me the below type of code should work, but I'm not seeing the delete happen:

DataMap dataMap = new DataMap();

dataMap.put("entityType", "dataset");

dataMap.put("entityUrn", "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:myDp,myDB.myTable,DEV)");

dataMap.put("changeType", "UPSERT");

dataMap.put("aspectName", "status");

DataMap aspectMap = new DataMap();

DataMap aspectValueMap = new DataMap();

aspectValueMap.put("removed", true);

aspectMap.put("value", aspectValueMap);

aspectMap.put("contentType", "application/json");

dataMap.put("aspect", aspectMap);

MetadataChangeProposal mcp = new MetadataChangeProposal(dataMap);

RestEmitter client = RestEmitter.create(b -> b.server("<http://localhost:8080>"));

client.emit(mcp, callback);

My alternative would be to fallback to the OpenAPI endpoint (https://demo.datahubproject.io/openapi/swagger-ui/index.html#/Entities/deleteEntities), but I'd rather use RestEmitter and avoid doing raw Http myself. Thanks.

There is a simpler way using the

MetadataChangeProposalWrapper

class as shown here: https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-integration/java/as-a-library/#usage

Thanks! That works. Is it possible to do a Hard Delete via this Rest approach? My current code looks like this: MetadataChangeProposalWrapper mcpw = new MetadataChangeProposalWrapperBuilder() .entityType("dataset") .entityUrn("urnlidataset:(urnlidataPlatform:myDp,myDb.myTable,DEV)") .upsert() .aspect(new Status().setRemoved(true)) .aspectName("status") .build();
