Clears all keys from an Active-Active database.

```sh
crdb-cli crdb flush --crdb-guid <guid>
         [ --no-wait ]
```

This command is irreversible. If the data in your database is important, back it up before you flush the database.

### Parameters

| Parameter           | Value  | Description                         |
|---------------------|--------|-------------------------------------|
| crdb-guid  | string | The GUID of the database (required) |
| no-wait             |        | Does not wait for the task to complete |

### Returns

Returns the task ID of the task clearing the database.

If `--no-wait` is specified, the command exits. Otherwise, it will wait for the database to be cleared and return `finished`.

### Example

```sh
$ crdb-cli crdb flush --crdb-guid d84f6fe4-5bb7-49d2-a188-8900e09c6f66
