Daniel, 

When you do a bucket list you are actually listing all keys in 1/N partitions 
and extracting the bucket names from the keys(which are bucket++key). So, when 
you remove all the keys in a bucket you effectively remove the bucket because 
no keys in the keylist will return as being members of that bucket.
