Hello, I would like to delete documents from Elasticsearch in Spark. I found that this feature seems to be planned for elasticsearch-hadoop v2.1.0.Beta4 [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/issues/348](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/issues/348) Could you please confirm whether it will be added only in v2.1.0.Beta4 or is it already found in development master (BUILD\_SNAPSHOT)? If the feature is available in development master, can you please post some example of how to use it?

If the issue is still open, then the feature hasn't been addressed. When an issue is closed, you'll see the reason why that is - typically with links to the commit and also the doc updates (in case of a new feature). The docs are built roughly every hour so any update will be seen on the website as well (under its relevant path current,2.1Beta or master).
