Thank you for your quick reply, Magnus! We’re considering using bucket type to 
support multi-tenancy in our system. Hence, all objects stored within the 
namespace of the bucket type and bucket type need to be removed once the client 
has decided to opt-out.

Thanks

Hi all,

Is deleting bucket type possible in version 2.1.4? If not, is there any 
workaround or available script/code that we can do this in a production 
environment without too much performance impact?

Thanks

Hi Kyle,

There is currently no option to delete bucket types once they have been 
created. Are you trying to delete a bucket type and any objects stored within 
the namespace of the bucket type, or just remove a previously configured bucket 
type?

In Riak, bucket types have very little operational overhead. They get stored in 
the cluster meta data and take up a small amount of disk space there. Bucket 
types are not gossiped around the ring on a regular basis, though, and 
therefore have not got the negative impact a large number of custom buckets 
would have. With Riak-2.x we generally recommend storing any configuration in 
bucket types, rather than creating custom buckets, even if there is only one 
bucket using that specific configuration.


Kind Regards,

Magnus
