Elastic search delete operation - node.js

Question

Am new to elastic search and struggling to delete an entry from my collection.
I need a query similar to this one
DELETE FROM message WHERE id='1323'" and created_user = "user#gmail.com".
Following are my elastic search query, when i execute this, its only deleting the particular id field, its not taking the second argument created_user. Please help me to solve this issue. Thanks
var created = "9ed8afe738aa63c28b66994cef1f83c6"
db.delete({
index: 'outboxpro',
type: 'message',
id: req.body.post_id,
created_user: created
}, function (error, resp) {
if (error) {
return next(error);
}
var data = {};
console.log('delete response',resp);
if (resp.hits.successful < 1) {
data = {status: false, message: 'NO POST FOUND TO DELETE', code: 400};
res.send(data);
} else {
return next({status: true, message: 'POST DELETED', data: error, code: 500});
}
});
//// EDIT
I have tried deleteByQuery, following are my code
db.deleteByQuery({
index: 'outboxpro',
type: 'message',
body:{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"match": {
"_id": {
"query": "Kal4AXi5R9G-IMx4GIKYMw"
}
}
},
"filter": {
"and": [
{
"term": {
"created_user": created
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
}, function (error, resp) {
if (error) {
return next(error);
}
console.log('post deleted');
});

You can delete documents matching your query, using delete by query in elasticsearch.. Refer

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete-by-query.html
db.deleteByQuery({
index: 'outboxpro',
type: 'message',
body: {
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"match": {
"_id": "Kal4AXi5R9G-IMx4GIKYMw"
}
},
"filter": {
"term": {
"created_user": "created"
}
}
}
}
},
function (error, resp) {
if (error) {
return next(error);
}
console.log('post deleted');
});

The delete API will do exactly what you want, just in a slightly round-about way.
What you'll have to do first is search for the documents you want to delete, so construct a search query that find all documents with the id of '1323' and a created_user of 'user#gmail.com'. From the returned documents you'll be able to retreive the document ID which you then need to pass through to the delete API.
