Is it expected that endpoints remain in the service when the selector is removed in OpenShift Container Platform 4

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When removing the selector from a service, the endpoints remain there and are not being removed. Is that behavior expected?
  • Running oc patch service foobar-service -p "{\"spec\":{\"selector\": null}}" won't remove the ep from the service.

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4
