I am not sure about deleteQueryBuilder. However, if you are able to search your record (as you mentioned, some criteria), then replace your GET/PUT/POST etc to DELETE only which will delete your filtered records.

Try this for deleting entire index.i think there is no possibility of deleting documents

1.you can delete using id
$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/1'

2.or delete entire index

$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/'

I have to filter the documents using match query – sweety May 02 '16 at 09:57
match all returns all fields – Veerendra Borra May 02 '16 at 11:58
There is a possibility with Delete.Builder to delete only one document using the id of the document. But I would like to filter with particular field which is not Id, a normal field. – sweety May 02 '16 at 12:15
you can delete any document with their id. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete.html – Veerendra Borra May 02 '16 at 12:16
check it for deleting indices . https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-delete-index.html – Veerendra Borra May 02 '16 at 12:17

I don't want to delete entire index,but a single object in it. – sweety May 02 '16 at 12:19

In Jest I you want to use the:

DeleteByQuery.Builder(query)

method .. the Delete builder method is for id's only
