== Delete Mapping
Make PUT and DELETE consistent for _mapping, _alias and _warmer See issue #4071 PUT options for _mapping: Single type can now be added with `[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|regex|blank}/[_mapping|_mappings]/type` and `[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|regex|blank}/type/[_mapping|_mappings]` PUT options for _warmer: PUT with a single warmer can now be done with `[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|prefix*|blank}/{type|_all|*|prefix*|blank}/[_warmer|_warmers]/warmer_name` PUT options for _alias: Single alias can now be PUT with `[PUT|POST] {index|_all|*|prefix*|blank}/[_alias|_aliases]/alias` DELETE options _mapping: Several mappings can be deleted at once by defining several indices and types with `[DELETE] /{index}/{type}` `[DELETE] /{index}/{type}/_mapping` `[DELETE] /{index}/_mapping/{type}` where `index= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …` `type= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …` Alternatively, the keyword `_mapings` can be used. DELETE options for _warmer: Several warmers can be deleted at once by defining several indices and names with `[DELETE] /{index}/_warmer/{type}` where `index= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …` `type= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …` Alternatively, the keyword `_warmers` can be used. DELETE options for _alias: Several aliases can be deleted at once by defining several indices and names with `[DELETE] /{index}/_alias/{type}` where `index= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …` `type= * | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …` Alternatively, the keyword `_aliases` can be used.

Allow to delete a mapping (type) along with its data. The REST endpoints are
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
[DELETE] /{index}/{type}
[DELETE] /{index}/{type}/_mapping
[DELETE] /{index}/_mapping/{type}
--------------------------------------------------
where
[horizontal]
`index`:: `* | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
`type`:: `* | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
Note, most times, it make more sense to reindex the data into a fresh
index compared to delete large chunks of it.
