Hi Ishan,

I usually do that using a query like this:

{
  "query" : {
    "constant_score" : {
      "filter" : {
        "not" : {
          "filter" : {
            "has_parent" : {
              "query" : {
                "match_all" : { }
              },
              "parent_type" : "### PARENT TYPE ###"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Good luck! Better test the query before deleting! ;)

Best regards,
Hannes
