bulk_delete(container, ...)

## S3 method for class 'cosmos_container'
bulk_delete(
  container,
  query,
  partition_key,
  procname = "_AzureCosmosR_bulkDelete",
  headers = list(),
  ...
)

`container`	A Cosmos DB container object, as obtained by `get_cosmos_container` or `create_cosmos_container`.
`query`	A query specifying which documents to delete.
`partition_key`	Optionally, limit the deletion only to documents with this key value.
`procname`	The stored procedure name to use for the server-side import code. Change this if, for some reason, the default name is taken.
`headers, ...`	Optional arguments passed to lower-level functions.

This is a convenience function to delete multiple documents from a container. It works by creating a stored procedure and then calling it with the supplied query as a parameter. This function is not meant for production use.
