[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-40?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Randall Hauch commented on DNA-40: ---------------------------------- Related to deleting a subgraph, per Section 8.3.7.4 of the JSR-170 spec: "When a node is removed, a NODE_REMOVED event must be generated for the node on which the remove was called. Additionally, an implementation should also generate a NODE_REMOVE or PROPERTY_ (as appropriate) for each item in the removed subtree." This means that the "mark" portion of the deletion process will probably have to walk the deleted structure anyway. This means that the "sweep" could also be performed during the delete request, but may actually be a pretty straightforward series of DELETE SQL commands. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
