Hi,

I have a Tweet index, with following defination. I inserted some data into  
it & now, I wish to delete the data for particular user. I tried following  
python code, but it is not working.

query = pyes.query.MatchAllQuery()  
equeue = es.search(query, 'tweet', 'blog')  
for row in equeue:  
if row["user"] == "User2":  
es.delete('tweet', 'blog', row.get\_id())

\*When I execute the above python django code, I get following exception, \*even  
the CURL command is not working

[tweet] type[blog] missing: trying to auto create mapping, but dynamicmapping is disabled

I modified the mapping to dynamic= True, still it doesn't work. Kindly  
help.
