Delete all documents from index/type without deleting type

Question

I know one can delete all documents from a certain type via deleteByQuery.

Example:

curl -XDELETE \'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_query\' -d \         


        

Answer 1

In Kibana Console:

POST calls-xin-test-2/_delete_by_query
{
  "query": { 
    "match_all": {}
  }
}
