There are two options for uninstalling the Operator Helm Chart. First, you may simply delete the Operator Helm Chart. Alternatively, you can delete the MarkLogic Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to wipe the MarkLogic cluster from your system.
Note:
For information on uninstalling the basic Helm Chart, see Uninstall the Helm Chart.
Delete the Operator Helm Chart
Note:
For version 1.2.0 and later, the MarkLogic Operator includes the helm.sh/resource-policy: keep annotation. When you delete the operator using helm delete, the Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and your existing MarkLogic deployments are preserved and will not be deleted automatically.
Use the helm delete command to delete the MarkLogic Operator manifest.
helm delete marklogic-operator-kubernetes -n <release-namespace>
Deleting the MarkLogic CRDs
Warning:
Deleting a CRD will automatically delete all Custom Resources of that type across the entire Kubernetes cluster. Only proceed if you are certain you want to permanently remove all MarkLogic resources.
Use the following kubectl delete commands to manually delete the MarkLogic CRDs and completely wipe your system of the MarkLogic cluster.
kubectl delete crd marklogicclusters.marklogic.progress.com
kubectl delete crd marklogicgroups.marklogic.progress.com
