Elasticsearch version: 2.4.1 I'm using es python client and want to delete all documents matching a particular type. Currently i'm using helpers.scan to get all matching _id followed by issuing a bulk delete request like this: bulk_body = ['{"delete": {"_index": "talend.com", "_type": "2017-01-01"…
