Hi,

My team is currently using version 0.8.1-rc1 and can't seem to hard delete
entities or update lineage.

1. Hard deleting entities
Based on this ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-541, it
seems like hard deletes should be possible. We uncommented and set
`atlas.DeleteHandler.impl` to
`org.apache.atlas.repository.graph.HardDeleteHandler`
in `atlas-application.properties`, but after making a DELETE request on an
entity, we can still see it in the UI (marked as deleted). What is the
correct way to hard delete entities in Altas?

2. Updating lineage
Based on this thread: https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/
53470/how-to-delete-lineage-metadata-in-apache-atlas.html, it looks like
the way to update lineage is to re-POST a Process entity with the `inputs`
and `outputs` attributes updated to reflect the new lineage. However, it
looks like updates to these attributes can only be _additive_. POST'ing
empty `inputs` and `outputs` arrays have no effect. What's the correct way
to delete edges in a lineage graph?

Great work on the tool so far!
