Delete a non-existent key

[pareshpp]

I wanted a clarification on behavior of delete operation on a non-existent key. When delete operates on a non-existent key, the simulator returns True if force=True and false otherwise.

Why is the difference in behavior because of force=True while deleting a non-existent key if force=True has to do with db version?

c = Client('localhost', 8123)
c.connect()
c.delete('kfsdfdsfdbskljfdskfs9000000', force=True)
True
c.delete('kfsdfdsfdbskljfdskfs9000000')
False

For forced delete:
The client API library returns true if operation is successfully returned
from server (status code from device/simulator == SUCCESS).
Device/simulator does not check if entry exists in store.

For versioned delete:
The client API library returns true if entry is found and deleted (status
code from device/simulator == SUCCESS). Otherwise, returns false (status
code from device/simulator == NOT_FOUND). The device/simulator DOES check
if entry exists in store.

Please see Javadoc also for more information:

Thanks.
