Welcome!

This seems like a spring data related question and not really elasticsearch.

In elasticsearch, it's good to delete documents using the delete API or better the bulk API if you have a lot of them to delete.

Thank you very much, could you please provide a solution of how to do it using bulk API?

this is how my data looks like

   {
   "id":"1234",
   "expirationDate":"17343234234",
   "paths":"http:localhost:9090",
   "work":"software dev",
   "family":{
      "baba":"jams",
      "mother":"ela"
   }
},
{
   "id":"00021",
   "expirationDate":"0123234",
   "paths":"http:localhost:8080",
   "work":"software engi",
   "family":{
      "baba":"stev",
      "mother":"hela"
   }
}

i need to delete all ids which its expirationDate before today`date are

Then you don't want to provide a list of ids but a query, right?

And use this API?

Better solution is to use time based indices and simply drop the older indices everyday.
Which can be automated with ILM:

Not sure it will answer your question but here is some code which uses Spring Boot (not Spring Data Elasticsearch) where I'm building
