Elasticsearch: How to remove display type without deleting the whole index?

Question

Is it possible to remove one type of display from an index without deleting the entire index? https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-delete-mapping.html says that this is not possible, but it's hard for me to believe. Can anyone explain why the functionality was removed? Sounds like basic things.

I have an index with two mappings. I would like to be able to delete one type of association (along with all documents of this type) without deleting another type of association.

thanks

For the latest version (above 2.0), ES is no longer able to remove the mapping for a type. Instead, you should remove the index and recreate it using the new mappings. For more information, you can see this in the white paper here . For older versions (below 2.0), elasticsearch allows you to remove a mapping (type) along with its data. REST endpoints

[DELETE] /{index}/{type}

[DELETE] /{index}/{type}/_mapping

[DELETE] /{index}/_mapping/{type}
