TLDR David raised a concern about Typesense records not being deleted when parent collections are removed. Jason confirmed that Firestore does not trigger delete events for individual documents when parent collections are dropped.

05:47 PM• I'm using the firebase extension with a forked cloud function to index records from firestore to typesense
• I'm monitoring a nested firebase sub-collection with the path
collection1/{wildcard1}/collection2/{wildcard2}/collection3• In some of our tests, we prop up test collections, add values, and tear down by removing
collection1• After removing the parent
collection1 typesense records from collection3 are not being deleted, and they're building up very quickly in our dev clusterI read somewhere that this may require another firebase cloud function that removes orphaned records from typesense when one of their parent collections is deleted from firestore. Is this the correct approach?
