Pull Request Overview
This pull request refactors the Dataverse SDK's delete operations to better handle bulk deletes and introduces asynchronous bulk delete capabilities. The key changes differentiate between elastic and standard tables, optimize delete operations accordingly, and provide users with more control over delete performance.
Key Changes
- Introduced
delete_asyncmethod for asynchronous bulk deletes using BulkDelete API - Modified
deletemethod to automatically useDeleteMultiplefor elastic tables and sequential deletes for standard tables - Added
_is_elastic_tablehelper method with caching to determine table type

Updated delete with a new delete_async method and use DeleteMultiple for delete when it's an elastic table
Copilot summary:
This pull request updates the Dataverse SDK to improve how bulk deletes are handled and introduces a new asynchronous bulk delete method. The changes clarify the behavior of the
deletemethod, add a newdelete_asyncmethod for better performance when deleting multiple records, and update documentation and examples to reflect these improvements.Bulk Delete API Improvements
deletemethod inclient.pyso that it always returnsNoneand performs sequential deletes for standard tables, while usingDeleteMultiplefor elastic tables. The bulk delete job ID is no longer returned from this method. [1] [2]delete_asyncmethod toclient.pythat issues an asynchronous BulkDelete job for one or more records and returns the BulkDelete job identifier. This is recommended for better performance when deleting many records._is_elastic_tableinodata.pyto determine if a table is elastic, and refactored_delete_multipleand_delete_asyncto support the new delete logic. [1] [2] [3]Documentation Updates
