Hi,  
DeleteByQueryRequest does not serialize "types" in "writeTo" method, which  
causes to delete all the entries matching the given query in the specified  
index.

Good catch!, opened an issue and pushed a fix for it:  
[Delete By Query: Types are not serialized over network, causing them to be ignored · Issue #580 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/580).
