Prerequisites

Deletion

The td table:partial_delete command lets you delete your imported data within a specific table by specifying the time range. Please note that because the stored data is partitioned per hour, the arguments for --from and --to must be divided by 3600 (1 hour).

$ td table:partial_delete --help
usage:
  $ td table:partial_delete <db> <table>

example:
  $ td table:partial_delete example_db table1 --from 1341000000 --to 1341003600

description:
  Delete logs from the table within the specified time range

options:
  -t, --to TIME                    end time of logs to delete
  -f, --from TIME                  start time of logs to delete
  -w, --wait                       wait until the job is finished

The data deletion is executed as a job. This means that you can confirm its status by issuing the td jobs command (see Job Management). The -w option lets you wait until the job is finished.
