Purge queue¶
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/zaqar/+spec/purge-queue
Though user can delete messages, claims or subscriptions from a queue, but there is no way to delete many of them at once.
Problem description¶
Now Zaqar is missing a fast way to delete many resources at once for a given queue. This could be handy for user to clean the queue and keep all the metadata of the queue.
Proposed change¶
New endpoint for action ‘purge’ for queue:
/v2/queues/myqueue/purge
POST body:
{"resource_types": ["messages", "subscriptions"]}
So the idea is if there is no POST body, by default, all the resources under the queue will be delete. Otherwise, if the key ‘resource_types’ in the POST body, then Zaqar will delete resources based on the given resource types. It’s a list and it could be one of the combinations of the two types: ‘messages’, and ‘subscriptions’.
Currently, it’s hard to list “claims” under a queue, so this feature won’t support clean “claims”.
Drawbacks¶
N/A
Alternatives¶
User has to delete messages and subscriptions of the queue manually.
