If you want to do this in golang, using the "olviere/elastic" library, you can use this code, assuming you have a client yourClient, and yourIndex and yourType:

    bq := elastic.NewBoolQuery()
    bq.Must(elastic.NewMatchAllQuery())
    _, err := elastic.NewDeleteByQueryService(yourClient).
        Index(yourIndex).
        Type(yourType).
        Query(bq).
        Do()
