Deletes data from a local instance and removes the instance from the Active-Active database.

crdb-cli crdb purge-instance --crdb-guid <guid>
         --instance-id <instance-id>
         [ --no-wait ]

Once this command finishes, the other replicas must remove this instance with crdb-cli crdb remove-instance --force.

Parameters

Parameter Value Description
crdb-guid string The GUID of the database (required)
instance-id string The ID of the local instance (required)
no-wait Does not wait for the task to complete

Returns

Returns the task ID of the task that is purging the local instance.

If --no-wait is specified, the command exits. Otherwise, it will wait for the instance to be purged and return finished.

Example

$ crdb-cli crdb purge-instance --crdb-guid db6365b5-8aca-4055-95d8-7eb0105c0b35 --instance-id 2
