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

If you want to delete document according to a date. You can use kibana console (v.6.1.2)

POST index_name/_delete_by_query
{
      "query" : {
              "range" : {
                 "sendDate" : {
                     "lte" : "2018-03-06"
                              }
                        }
                  }
}
