I am testing out ElasticSearch 5.4 before upgrading our existing code base and getting strange behaviour when running a delete by query on a couple of indices - in every case it looks like a new document with id '_delete_by_query' is being created: 09:30:13.822 [Test worker] DEBUG org.apache.http.h…

I realised that the issue was that I was not loading the reindex plugin (I am using a manually created Node to do some testing against which I know is no longer supported). Creating the node with the plugin solved the problem.
