Is there a method of deleting all entries in a specific type in an Index
without deleting the whole type and also preserving the mapping for that
type? I want to clear out a type without having to reindex or remove the
type. Is this possible? I've tried variations of match_all and wildcard
queries and haven't had any luck.

Right now I'm trying
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/index/type/_query?q=_id:*', and it
seems to return successful in the terminal window, but doesn't actually
delete the entries in my type.
