Hello, relatively new to ES and struggling to delete old records from an
index("iron") , all of which are the same type ("email"). The idea is to
purge old data that is no longer of interest. In the examples below, I'm
trying to delete all the records from Septemeber of 2013. My use of ES is
primarily via the Java API, with little experience using curl from the
command line.
The date/time field is defined like
this: "tstamp":{"type":"date","format":"dateOptionalTime"}
I have been trying to work from assorted 'delete by query' docs and forum
suggestions, but so far the result is a puzzling set of failures. I'm sure
that I'm messing something up on a very basic level since this must be a
common operation.
This works:
curl -XGET 'http://192.168.4.73:9200/iron/email/_search?pretty=true' -d
'{"query":{"range":{"tstamp":{"from":"2013-09-01T00:00:00","to":"2013-09-30T23:59:59"}}}}'
This FAILS:
curl -XGET 'http://192.168.4.73:9200/iron/email/_query' -d
'{"query":{"range":{"tstamp":{"from":"2013-09-01T00:00:00","to":"2013-09-02T23:59:59"}}}}'
Returning: {"_index":"iron","_type":"email","_id":"_query","exists":false}
So of course the -XDELETE based on this query also fails.
Any suggestions appreciated.
