title: How to I tell a Springdata-repository's delete method to not throw an exception if an entity does not exists?
body: <p>I am using SpringData's repository. If I try to delete an entity via an ID which does not exist or never existed it throws an exception. Since I do not want to check whether the entity exists before I delete it, it would be nice that it would fail silently. It would make it easier because the observable behavior is the same - after the call the entity does not exists anymore. Whether it has been deleted or never existed, I do not care.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to modify default behavior of <code>delete(EntityId)</code> so it won't throw an exception, if entity does not exsist?</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/commons/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/repository/CrudRepository.html#delete-java.lang.Iterable" rel="noreferrer">Documentation of SpringData's delete</a> says that it will throw an exception if an entity does not exist.</p>
