container::delete-objects semantics

[itowlson]

Is the container delete-objects function intended to offer any guarantees about atomicity? If not, what behaviour is expected on partial failure?

I do not believe delete-objects offers any guarantees about atomicity.

If not, what behaviour is expected on partial failure?

I think we should clarify this in the docs of this operation. In particular, I do believe it would be helpful to return a list of keys that are deleted successfully and an error message indicating that there is a partial failure, similar to the semantics of DeleteObjects in s3.

Interestingly, azure blob store does not support delete-objects operation.

Interestingly, azure blob store does not support delete-objects operation.

Indeed... I (rather foolishly) picked Azure as my first try to implement wasi-blobstore and ran slap bang into this! There is a "blob batch" API but the SDK for my language doesn't surface it.

container::clear() seems not to exist in Azure either.
