Throttle a delete by query operation Added in 6.5.0

POST /_delete_by_query/{task_id}/_rethrottle

Change the number of requests per second for a particular delete by query operation. Rethrottling that speeds up the query takes effect immediately but rethrotting that slows down the query takes effect after completing the current batch to prevent scroll timeouts.

Path parameters

  • task_id string | number Required

    The ID for the task.

Query parameters

  • The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second. To disable throttling, set it to -1.

    • nodes object

      Task information grouped by node, if group_by was set to node (the default).

            • Human readable text that identifies the particular request that the task is performing. For example, it might identify the search request being performed by a search task. Other kinds of tasks have different descriptions, like _reindex which has the source and the destination, or _bulk which just has the number of requests and the destination indices. Many requests will have only an empty description because more detailed information about the request is not easily available or particularly helpful in identifying the request.

            • A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

            • Time unit for nanoseconds

            • Time unit for milliseconds

            • status object

              The internal status of the task, which varies from task to task. The format also varies. While the goal is to keep the status for a particular task consistent from version to version, this is not always possible because sometimes the implementation changes. Fields might be removed from the status for a particular request so any parsing you do of the status might break in minor releases.

            • type string Required
