How can I use the new Dataset API to delete a column/metric?

[etr2460]

See question in the title. The only API i see for Datasets is PUT /api/v1/dataset/<pk>, which doesn't seem to support deleting a column or a metric. Is this supported/planned to be supported in the future?

@dpgaspar is this something that was missed on initial implementation, or is there some FAB magic we're missing?

[dpgaspar]

@etr2460 you are right, and there is no missing magic @willbarrett. It seems to be missing, the columns and metrics API chunk is not used by the frontend yet, but I think it's something we will support in the future (no defined dates yet)

Gotcha, thanks for the update! For context, I ended up here because we currently use the old FAB api for updating/deleting columns and metrics, and it's unreasonably slow for some actions. Perhaps I should file a bug against FAB for now then? Let me know what you think @dpgaspar

@etr2460 I would prefer an issue on Superset, I think it's better not to waste cycles supporting the old API.
