Close a point in time Added in 7.10.0

DELETE /_pit

A point in time must be opened explicitly before being used in search requests. The keep_alive parameter tells Elasticsearch how long it should persist. A point in time is automatically closed when the keep_alive period has elapsed. However, keeping points in time has a cost; close them as soon as they are no longer required for search requests.
