elasticsearch-deletebyquery

> Elasticsearch-js client extension for the Delete-by-query plugin.

This module provides the deleteByQuery method which was removed from the core API in ES 2.0.0. For those with the Delete-by-query installed, this will bring back that feature to your Elasticsearch-js client.

Setup

Install the package.

``
npm install --save elasticsearch-deletebyquery
`

Then extend the Elasticsearch API by including this plugin.

`js
'use strict';

const hosts = ['127.0.0.1'];
const apiVersion = '2.x';
const elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch');
const deleteByQuery = require('elasticsearch-deletebyquery');

const client = new elasticsearch.Client({
hosts, apiVersion,
plugins: [ deleteByQuery ]
});
`

Example

Deleting documents with a simple query
`js
client.deleteByQuery({
index: 'myindex',
q: 'test'
}, function (error, response) {
// ...
});
`

Deleting documents using the Query DSL
`js
client.deleteByQuery({
index: 'posts',
body: {
query: {
term: { published: false }
}
}
}, function (error, response) {
// ...
});
