suggeset me, how can delete multiple or documents in specific type of index in elasticsearch.

you cannot delete mapping type, hence why first query doesn't work.

you can delete index

curl -xdelete http://10.1.2.10:9200/g_visitor 

if want use delete-by-query approach, can so, need install plugin first

sudo bin/plugin install delete-by-query 

then can use plugin calling _query endpoint (not _delete_by_query!!):

curl -xdelete 'http://10.1.2.10:9200/g_visitor/gvisitor/_query?conflicts=proceed' -d '{     "query" : {          "match_all" : {}     } }'
