I can delete an document by passing the index name , type and id like this-

```auto
DeleteRequest deleteRequest = new DeleteRequest(data.getIndexName(),data.getType(),data.getUniqueId());

		DeleteResponse deleteResponse = client.delete(deleteRequest);
		

```

But when I am trying to delete an index by giving the index name only like below- (According to [this document](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high-delete-index.html))

```auto
DeleteRequest deleteRequest = new DeleteRequest(allData.getIndexName());

		DeleteResponse deleteResponse = client.delete(deleteRequest);
		

```

getting -

```auto
org.elasticsearch.action.ActionRequestValidationException: Validation Failed: 1: type is missing;2: id is missing;

```

I have tried another way like this ([reference](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/java-rest-high-delete-index.html))

```auto
DeleteIndexRequest request = new DeleteIndexRequest(allData.getIndexName());
		AcknowledgedResponse deleteIndexResponse = client.indices().delete(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

```

getting-

```auto
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
	at org.elasticsearch.client.IndicesClient.delete(IndicesClient.java:93) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-6.5.4.jar:6.4.3]

```

There's something strange in the last line you pasted. A mix of versions.  
Check that you have 6.5 at least and only one version in your classpath.

</div>

I am using below dependency -

```auto
       <dependency>
           <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
           <artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
           <version>6.5.4</version>
       </dependency>

```

And its showing an warning near version as - "Overriding managed version 6.4.3 for elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client" in the pom.xml

What gives

```
mvn dependency:tree
```

I have attached the dependency hierarchy and the dependency which I have used in pom.xml. But I can't understand why its showing elasticsearch : 6.4.3 (/manged from 6.5.4) but I didn't used 6.4.3 anywhere.

That's not what I asked for.

Anyway, you can see that you need to fix your `pom.xml`. Most likely this is coming from spring boot you seem to be using.

Actually I didn't understand that properly ,I thought you are asking for the dependency hierarchy. so could you please tell me once again what you want? and how to run this command

```auto
mvn dependency:tree

```

I have run that command in a terminal opened inside my project folder then at the end I get the message BUILD SUCCESS.what do you mean by output, those terminal things or anything else (if any files generated) ?

This is happening because of:

```auto
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.2.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

```

When you remove it, you get:

```auto
[INFO] com.example:search-service:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] \- org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:jar:6.5.4:compile
[INFO] +- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:jar:6.5.4:compile

```

So I think you need to explicitly import the `elasticsearch:jar:6.5.4`.

I reproduced it from my own projects. It's annoying that spring boot now (from 2.1) sets in the stone the elasticsearch version to use IMO.

For example, here is what I did for version 7.0:

Thank you for your reply. For now I have used java low level rest client to achieve the requirements. OR else

To force load elasticsearch 6.5.4 I have added the following property to my pom which will override the property defined in spring-boot-dependencies pom

```auto
<properties>
    <elasticsearch.version>6.5.4</elasticsearch.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
    ...
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
        <artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
        <version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    ...
</dependencies>

```
