Hi all,
I want to delete the oldest X docs from my elasticsearch index.
How do I do that?
Thanks, Ophir

You could add datetime field to your document and order by that in
ascending order and get the first X document id's. And then delete the
documents by id.
While that's the solution to the question you asked, it might be better to
re-think your problem so that you don't have to delete the oldest X
documents. Have you considered whether your problem fits into the
time-series index model? If it does, then you can just delete the oldest
day (or whatever time period). Take a look at this
video: http://www.elasticsearch.org/videos/big-data-search-and-analytics/
(about 21:15 minute mark).
