<repository>: (Required, string) Name of the repository to delete a snapshot from.
<snapshot>: (Required, string) Comma-separated list of snapshot names to delete. Also accepts wildcards (*).

master_timeout: (Optional, time units) Period to wait for the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to 30s. Can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.
wait_for_completion: (Optional, Boolean) If true, the request returns a response when the matching snapshots are all deleted. If false, the request returns a response as soon as the deletes are scheduled. Defaults to true.

The following request deletes snapshot_2 and snapshot_3 from the repository named my_repository.
