Document passing partitionKey to deleteDocument method when used with partitioned collection

[harshithkashyap]

From the docs here, deleteDocument takes only _self link of the document as the mandatory parameter. But when the query is run against a partitioned collection, cosmosdb throws the following error:

{"errors":["The partition key supplied in x-ms-partitionkey header has fewer components than defined in the the collection."]}

As suggested by this SO answer, passing partition key via options object as below works.

deleteDocument(documentLink, {
    partitionKey: ['partitionKeyValueForTheDocument']
}, callback)

This also makes it impossible to delete documents that were saved without a partition key. Also the PartitionKey(Undefined.value) seems to be missing from the node sdk.

@harshithkashyap deleteDocument needs the partitionKey to be passed via the request Options. The docs have been updated to reflect the same. Thanks.

That still doest address the fact that the Undefined.value constant is missing from the node SDK.
