## Controlling whether the garbage collector deletes dependents
## Controlling how the garbage collector deletes dependents
When you delete object, you can specify whether the object's dependents
are deleted automatically. Deleting dependents automatically is called
*cascading deletion*. If you delete an object without deleting its
dependents automatically, the dependents are said to be *orphaned*.
When you delete an object, you can specify whether the object's dependents are
also deleted automatically. Deleting dependents automatically is called *cascading
deletion*. There are two modes of *cascading deletion*: *background* and *foreground*.
To delete dependent objects automatically, set the `orphanDependents` query
parameter to false in your request to delete the owner object.
If you delete an object without deleting its dependents
automatically, the dependents are said to be *orphaned*.
To orphan the dependents of an owner object, set the `orphanDependents` query
parameter to true in your request to delete the owner object.
### Background cascading deletion
The default value for `orphanDependents` is true. So unless you specify
otherwise, dependent objects are orphaned.
In *background cascading deletion*, Kubernetes deletes the owner object
immediately and the garbage collector then deletes the dependents in
the background.
Here's an example that deletes dependents automatically:
### Foreground cascading deletion
In *foreground cascading deletion*, the root object first
enters a "deletion in progress" state. In the "deletion in progress" state,
the following things are true:
* The object is still visible via the REST API
* The object's `deletionTimestamp` is set
* The object's `metadata.finalizers` contains the value "foregroundDeletion".
Once the "deletion in progress" state is set, the garbage
collector deletes the object's dependents. Once the garbage collector has deleted all
"blocking" dependents (objects with `ownerReference.blockOwnerDeletion=true`), it delete
the owner object.
Note that in the "foregroundDeletion", only dependents with
`ownerReference.blockOwnerDeletion` block the deletion of the owner object.
Kubernetes version 1.7 will add an admission controller that controls user access to set
`blockOwnerDeletion` to true based on delete permissions on the owner object, so that
unauthorized dependents cannot delay deletion of an owner object.
If an object's `ownerReferences` field is set by a controller (such as Deployment or ReplicaSet),
blockOwnerDeletion is set automatically and you do not need to manually modify this field.
### Setting the cascading deletion policy
To control the cascading deletion policy, set the `deleteOptions.propagationPolicy`
field on your owner object. Possible values include "Orphan",
"Foregound", or "Background".
The default garbage collection policy for many controller resources is `orphan`,
including ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, and
Deployment. So unless you specify otherwise, dependent objects are orphaned.
Here's an example that deletes dependents in background:
```shell
kubectl proxy --port=8080
curl -X DELETE localhost:8080/apis/extensions/v1beta1/namespaces/default/replicasets/my-repset?orphanDependents=false
curl -X DELETE localhost:8080/apis/extensions/v1beta1/namespaces/default/replicasets/my-repset \
-d '{"kind":"DeleteOptions","apiVersion":"v1","propagationPolicy":"Background"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
```
To delete dependents automatically using kubectl, set `--cascade` to true.
To orphan dependents, set `--cascade` to false. The default value for
`--cascade` is true.
Here's an example that deletes dependents in foreground:
```shell
kubectl proxy --port=8080
curl -X DELETE localhost:8080/apis/extensions/v1beta1/namespaces/default/replicasets/my-repset \
-d '{"kind":"DeleteOptions","apiVersion":"v1","propagationPolicy":"Foreground"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
```
Here's an example that orphans dependents:
```shell
kubectl proxy --port=8080
curl -X DELETE localhost:8080/apis/extensions/v1beta1/namespaces/default/replicasets/my-repset \
-d '{"kind":"DeleteOptions","apiVersion":"v1","propagationPolicy":"Orphan"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
```
kubectl also supports cascading deletion.
To delete dependents automatically using kubectl, set `--cascade` to true. To
orphan dependents, set `--cascade` to false. The default value for `--cascade`
is true.

## Ongoing development
## Known issues
* In 1.6, garbage collection does not support non-core resources, e.g.,
resources added via ThirdPartyResource or via aggregated API servers. It will
support non-core resources in the future. When it does, garbage collector will
delete objects with ownerRefereneces referring to non-existent object of a
valid non-core resource.
In Kubernetes version 1.5, synchronous garbage collection is under active
development. See the tracking
[issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/29891) for more details.
