dermidgen / elasticsearch-deletebyquery Goto Github PK

return require('elasticsearch/src/lib/utils').merge(spec, { ^
TypeError: require(...).merge is not a function

Running on Elastic 5+, deleteByQuery fails with:

{ Error: [illegal_argument_exception] The parameter [fields] is no longer supported, please use [stored_fields] to retrieve stored fields or _source filtering if the field is not stored

The fix for this is very simple, just change app.js line 14 from:

fields: ['id']

to

stored_fields: ['id']

First of all thank you for this open source module

I use this plugin on es1.5.0, npm install this module can be used directly.

But after I upgrade to es2.3.4 , will perform the same js error, then google it, in stackoverflow someone says you need to install the plugin.

/plugin install delete-by-query

Also in this module in the readme sentence:
This module provides the deleteByQuery method which was removed from the core API in ES 2.0.0. For those with the Delete-by-query installed, this will bring back that feature to your Elasticsearch-js client.

After 2.x, use this module you need to install es the plugin, it should be this way?

I propose to add a hint to the readme~
