Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Feast currently supports the objects deletion from registry, but its not documented yet. The object deletion is done via : feast.apply(objects_to_delete=[feature_view1])

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Document the object deletion using a jupyter notebook that:
  • Creates feature store objects.
  • Read the feature store objects.
  • Deletes the objects.
  • Validate the deleted objects are not available.
  1. [Optional] Write an unit test.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing Feast documentation notebooks and the deletion code path in `feast apply(objects to delete=...)` to create a notebook that creates, reads, deletes, and validates deletion of feature store objects.
