== Delete Index
|
|
|
|
The delete index API allows to delete an existing index.
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
DELETE /twitter
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[setup:twitter]
|
|
|
|
The above example deletes an index called `twitter`. Specifying an index,
|
|
alias or wildcard expression is required.
|
|
|
|
The delete index API can also be applied to more than one index, by either using a comma separated list, or on all indices (be careful!) by using `_all` or `*` as index.
|
|
|
|
In order to disable allowing to delete indices via wildcards or `_all`,
|
|
set `action.destructive_requires_name` setting in the config to `true`.
|
|
This setting can also be changed via the cluster update settings api.
