/**
 * This sample demonstrates how to deletes the specified query key. Unlike admin keys, query keys are not regenerated. The process for regenerating a query key is to delete and then recreate it.
 * Returns 200 (OK) on successful deletion, 204 (No Content) if the service exists but the query keys not found, or 404 (Not Found) if the service is not found.
 * NOTE: The behavior of returning 404 is inconsistent with ARM guidelines. Clients should expect a 204 response in future versions and avoid new dependencies on the 404 response.
