DeleteReachableFiles

All Superinterfaces:

Action<DeleteReachableFiles,DeleteReachableFiles.Result>

All Known Implementing Classes:

DeleteReachableFilesSparkAction
```
public interface DeleteReachableFiles
extends Action<DeleteReachableFiles,DeleteReachableFiles.Result>
```
An action that deletes all files referenced by a table metadata file.
This action will irreversibly delete all reachable files such as data files, manifests, manifest lists and should be used to clean up the underlying storage once a table is dropped and no longer needed.
Implementations may use a query engine to distribute parts of work.

- Method Detail
  - deleteWith
```
DeleteReachableFiles deleteWith(java.util.function.Consumer<java.lang.String> deleteFunc)
```
    Passes an alternative delete implementation that will be used for files.
    
    Parameters:
    
    deleteFunc - a function that will be called to delete files. The function accepts path to file as an argument.
    
    Returns:
    
    this for method chaining
  - executeDeleteWith
```
DeleteReachableFiles executeDeleteWith(java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService executorService)
```
    Passes an alternative executor service that will be used for files removal. This service will only be used if a custom delete function is provided by deleteWith(Consumer) or if the FileIO does not support bulk deletes. Otherwise, parallelism should be controlled by the IO specific deleteFiles method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executorService - the service to use
    
    Returns:
    
    this for method chaining
  - io
```
DeleteReachableFiles io(FileIO io)
```
    Set the FileIO to be used for files removal
    
    Parameters:
    
    io - FileIO to use for files removal
    
    Returns:
    
    this for method chaining
