Do you mean the Delete API? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.2/java-rest-high-document-delete.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.2/java-rest-high-document-delete.html) Coupled with the Bulk API? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.2/java-rest-high-document-bulk.html#\_optional\_arguments\_9](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.2/java-rest-high-document-bulk.html#_optional_arguments_9) ---
