Hi All,

I'm new to elasticsearch and still on the way to learn more , recently i  
have hit a question that can't be found on google :D, the scenario is I  
have a list of 1000 document id , the default routing said that  
elasticsearch would store the document depend on the id hash , i'm trying  
to delete all of these document , the question is the performance between  
the bulk delete and the delete by query , since i have all the document id  
would't it will be faster if i buld delete it by ids ?

Thanks
