Hi,

Is there a way to read number of documents that are marked for delete in an index as Java APIs.?

_stats gives below -\>  
},  
"all": {  
"primaries": {  
"docs": {  
"count": 11,  
 **"deleted": 2**  
},  
"store": {  
"size\_in\_bytes": 61138,  
"throttle\_time\_in\_millis": 0  
},  
"indexing": {  
"index\_total": 13,  
"index\_time\_in\_millis": 482,  
"index\_current": 0,  
"index\_failed": 7,  
\*\*"delete\_total": 0,_\*\*  
"delete\_time\_in\_millis": 0,  
"delete\_current": 0,  
"noop\_update\_total": 0,  
"is\_throttled": false,  
"throttle\_time\_in\_millis": 0  
},

I want to read deleted and deleted\_total from the above in JAVA API.  
I have tried ClusterAdminClient and IndicesAdminClient but they dont provide any such api to read mark for deleted document count from stats.

Thanks,  
RAH
