This action is irreversible. Proceed with caution.
Deletes the current index and all its associated data. 
void DeleteIndex(const KeyContext& key);

​
Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
keyKeyContextKey context for the operation. Must be the root 32-byte index KEK. A bare 32-byte index key implicitly converts to a KeyContext.
DeleteIndex requires the root index KEK. A per-user KeyContext (one built with a user_kek and user_id) is rejected — RBAC users cannot delete the index.

​
Exceptions

  • Throws if the index could not be deleted.
  • Throws if a per-user key context is supplied instead of the root KEK.

​
Example Usage

index->DeleteIndex(index_key);
index_key is the 32-byte std::array<uint8_t, 32> root index KEK and converts implicitly to a KeyContext.
