==== Delete By Query Request
|
||
|
||
A +{request}+ can be used to delete documents from an index. It requires an
|
||
existing index (or a set of indices) on which deletion is to be performed.
|
||
|
||
The simplest form of a +{request}+ looks like this and deletes all documents
|
||
in an index:
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Creates the +{request}+ on a set of indices.
|
||
|
||
By default version conflicts abort the +{request}+ process but you can just
|
||
count them with this:
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-conflicts]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Set `proceed` on version conflict
|
||
|
||
You can limit the documents by adding a query.
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-query]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Only copy documents which have field `user` set to `kimchy`
|
||
|
||
It’s also possible to limit the number of processed documents by setting `maxDocs`.
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-maxDocs]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Only copy 10 documents
|
||
|
||
By default +{request}+ uses batches of 1000. You can change the batch size
|
||
with `setBatchSize`.
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-scrollSize]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Use batches of 100 documents
|
||
|
||
+{request}+ can also be parallelized using `sliced-scroll` with `setSlices`:
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-slices]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> set number of slices to use
|
||
|
||
+{request}+ uses the `scroll` parameter to control how long it keeps the
|
||
"search context" alive.
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-scroll]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> set scroll time
|
||
|
||
If you provide routing then the routing is copied to the scroll query, limiting the process to the shards that match
|
||
that routing value.
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-routing]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> set routing
|
||
|
||
|
||
==== Optional arguments
|
||
In addition to the options above the following arguments can optionally be also provided:
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-timeout]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Timeout to wait for the delete by query request to be performed as a `TimeValue`
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-refresh]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Refresh index after calling delete by query
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-indicesOptions]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Set indices options
|
||
|
||
include::../execution.asciidoc[]
|
||
|
||
[id="{upid}-{api}-response"]
|
||
==== Delete By Query Response
|
||
|
||
The returned +{response}+ contains information about the executed operations and
|
||
allows to iterate over each result as follows:
|
||
|
||
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-response]
|
||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Get total time taken
|
||
<2> Check if the request timed out
|
||
<3> Get total number of docs processed
|
||
<4> Number of docs that were deleted
|
||
<5> Number of batches that were executed
|
||
<6> Number of skipped docs
|
||
<7> Number of version conflicts
|
||
<8> Number of times request had to retry bulk index operations
|
||
<9> Number of times request had to retry search operations
|
||
<10> The total time this request has throttled itself not including the current throttle time if it is currently sleeping
|
||
<11> Remaining delay of any current throttle sleep or 0 if not sleeping
|
||
<12> Failures during search phase
|
||
<13> Failures during bulk index operation
