Are you looking to delete the documents or just the field? If you are trying to delete the entire document that contains the field, you could use a delete by query where the query contains on exists filter:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete-by-query.html http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-exists-filter.html However, you will not be able to use wildcards in the exists filter, so you will need to explicitly state each filter. That's the best I can think of. :) Cheers, Ivan On Mon, May 5, 2014 at 3:25 PM, Chris Laplante <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a number of fields (15K) that were created inadvertently. > > How would I delete them all from all indexes based on a pattern of the > field name. > > Eg all the fields I want to delete are in indexes named with the standard > logstash naming and are > > "calculus_data.calculus_*" > > Thanks, > > -Chris > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/0ff099ca-5db2-4f34-a6fb-e418d8d38dac%40googlegroups.com<https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/0ff099ca-5db2-4f34-a6fb-e418d8d38dac%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
