(without having to build a query)

curl -XDELETE 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/my_index/my_type/123'

Amazing what one can find in the docs :wink:

Something wrong with this method on the client (the javadoc does not look
sparse to me, but if it does to you, you are more than welcomed to send a
pull request with improvements):

/**
 * Deletes a document from the index based on the index, type and id.
 *
 * @param index The index to delete the document from
 * @param type  The type of the document to delete
 * @param id    The id of the document to delete
 */
DeleteRequestBuilder prepareDelete(String index, String type, String

id);
