Delete the key/value pair associated with the key.

Deleting a key/value pair with this method does not automatically delete its children or descendant key/value pairs. To delete children or descendants, use kv_multi_delete() instead.

Possible outcomes when calling this method are:

  • The KV pair was deleted and the number of records deleted is returned. For this function, a successful return value will always be 0 or 1.

  • The KV pair was not guaranteed to be deleted successfully. A non-success kv_error_t error is returned; that is, a negative integer is returned.

Parameters

  • store

    The store parameter is the handle to the store in which you want to perform the delete operation.

  • key

    The key parameter is the key used to look up the key/value pair to be deleted.

  • if_version

    The if_version parameter indicates the Version that the record must match before it can be deleted. The Version is obtained using the kv_get_version() function.

  • previous_value

    The previous_value parameter references memory into which is copied the Value portion of the Key/Value pair that this function deleted.

  • return_info

    The return_info parameter indicates what information should be returned to the kv_execute() results list by this operation. See kv_return_value_version_enum for a description of the options accepted by this parameter.

  • durability

    The durability parameter provides the durability guarantee to be used with this delete operation. Durability guarantees are created using kv_create_durability().

  • timeout_ms

    The timeout_ms parameter provides an upper bound on the time interval for processing the operation. A best effort is made not to exceed the specified limit. If zero, the default request timeout is used. The default request timeout is set using kv_config_set_timeouts().
