Delete_By_Query with Max_Docs parameter

[avi94]

Please use the following questions as a guideline to help me answer
your issue/question without further inquiry. Thank you.

Which version of Elastic are you using?

[ ] elastic.v7 (for Elasticsearch 7.x)

Please describe the expected behavior

I expected to be able to use max_docs parameter with the delete_by_query.

Please describe the actual behavior

Cannot find if there is max_docs parameter option to use with delete_by_query. I have searched for a while but couldn't find it in the library.

Any steps to reproduce the behavior?

Here is a snippet of what I am doing:

esResponseSalesRepMaterial, err := elastic.NewDeleteByQueryService(esClient).Index(salesRepMaterialsIndex).Slices(150).Query(boolQuery).Refresh("true").Do(context.Background())

And what I want to be able to do here is, use max_docs with this.

A dummy query to show what I'm trying:

POST /index_name/_delete_by_query?refresh=true&version&slices=100&max_docs=100000 { "query": { "bool": { "must": { "range": { "created_timestamp": { "from": null, "include_lower": true, "include_upper": false, "to": 1633344763 } } } } } }

This works perfectly fine in Kibana, and I need to do the same in our backend code.

Thanks in advance!

Yep, that's missing. Thanks for reporting.

Should be a simple fix, will set it on the list for 7.0.30 (currently waiting for ES to fix an issue, hopefully in 7.15.1).

Thanks @olivere! Meanwhile, any alternatives?

You can always use Client.PerformRequest directly. Other than that... no.
