It's currently missing. [I've added an issue to implement it for the next release](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-net/issues/2859).

In the meantime, you can use the lowlevel client to send with slicing

```
var response = client.LowLevel.DeleteByQuery<DeleteByQueryResponse>("index-name", new
{
    slice = new {
        id = 1,
        max = 2
    },
    query = new {
        range = new
        {
            likes = new
            {
                lt = 10
            }
        }
    }
});

var deleteByQueryResponse = response.Body;
```
