Hi Geoff,

Hmm, no … purge does not work at the clustered database level in the 2.0 
release. It looks like we may have failed to document this change beyond the 
API response that you got. There are some subtleties in how we have to manage 
that operation in a cluster. For example, if you happen to purge a document 
while only two replicas out of three are online, the third one may ultimately 
get re-propagated to the other two shards at a later date.

I know some folks are working on adding this capability back in to the 
clustered API, but until that work lands if you absolutely need to purge 
documents you can navigate to the shard-level API on a different port and 
execute the purge request there. That’s not for the faint of heart, though. 
Cheers,

Adam
