Delete Predicate

Description

The DeletePredicate request removes entries from a store that match a given predicate condition. Instead of deleting by vector key, this operation lets you filter deletions based on metadata values (e.g., labels, tags, or custom attributes).

What the code does

• Builds a predicate condition to match all entries where label == "A".

• Sends a DelPred request against the store "my_store".

• Removes all vectors/entries that satisfy the predicate.
