Hello, Like we have cascade on update and cascade on delete in SQL , do we have any such functionality in ElasticSearch? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Not exactly but I think you can use [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete-by-query.html#docs-delete-by-query](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete-by-query.html#docs-delete-by-query) to remove all children corresponding to a given parent and then remove the parent? I suppose you are talking about parent / child feature right? -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 20 mars 2014 à 10:45:26, Komal Parekh ([komaldparekh@gmail.com](mailto:komaldparekh@gmail.com)) a écrit: Hello, ## Like we have cascade on update and cascade on delete in SQL , do we have any such functionality in ElasticSearch?
