Error when using the delete-by-query plugin for Elasticsearch on Bitnami

[lahrm]

Hi,

I am working on Firebase along with Elasticsearch and I am getting the error below when I try to delete an index from Elasticsearch using delete-by-query. The index creation works well using a cloud function so the connection should be ok.

Is deleteByQuery somehow not supported by Elasticsearch on bitnami?

Documentation about the deletebyquery: npmjs.com

Error:

I don't know but I thought it is worth noticing that delete by query moved from a plugin to an actual feature. May be the client you are using has not been updated?

I spent several days on this issue and you just solved it with your very helpful answer.

Thanks a lot
