Description

When attempting to run this command:

kubectl patch statefulset web -p '{"spec":{"updateStrategy":{"type":"OnDelete"}}}'

I receive this message:

The StatefulSet "web" is invalid: spec.updateStrategy.rollingUpdate: Invalid value: apps.RollingUpdateStatefulSetStrategy{Partition:0, MaxUnavailable:(*intstr.IntOrString)(nil)}: only allowed for updateStrategy 'RollingUpdate'

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the Kubernetes documentation for StatefulSet update strategies and verify the correct patch command. The error indicates that when setting updateStrategy to OnDelete, the spec should not include rollingUpdate field.
