Madhan Neethiraj resolved ATLAS-1729.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
Delete of a type is not allowed if the type has a reference - from an entity
instance or another type. The entity state doesn't matter here - it can be in
ACTIVE or DELETED state. This is by design - to avoid unresolvable type
references from entities.
> Atlas is not allowing deletion of type with no ACTIVE instances and no other
> types that refer this type.

> Project: Atlas
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: atlas-core
> Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating, 0.9-incubating
> Reporter: Sharmadha Sainath
>
> 1. Created a type
> 2. Created entity for the type.
> 3. Tried to delete the type using
> {code}
> /api/atlas/v2/types/typedefs
> {code}
> which failed with 409 Conflict
> {code}
> {"errorCode":"ATLAS-409-00-002","errorMessage":"Given type testType has
> references"}
> {code}
> 4.Deleted the entity created for the type . status of the entity is DELETED.
> 5. Issued the same delete request for the type again . Even though there are
> no ACTIVE instances for the type and no other type has reference to this
> type, type deletion is failing with the same exception.
> This might cause issues when user wants to delete the type and recreate type
> with same name.
