DELETE /ecommerce/product/1001By default, it is only possible to delete documents by ID. However, there is a plugin named delete-by-query, which lets you delete documents that match a given query. I will not get into that, but I just wanted you to know that it exists.
Can you believe how easy that was? There is really nothing more to it!
Here is what you will learn:
- The architecture of Elasticsearch
- Mappings and analyzers
- Many kinds of search queries (simple and advanced alike)
- Aggregations, stemming, auto-completion, pagination, filters, fuzzy searches, etc.
- ... and much more!
