batch-delete-document

Description

Removes one or more documents from an index. The documents must have been added with the BatchPutDocument API.

The documents are deleted asynchronously. You can see the progress of the deletion by using Amazon Web Services CloudWatch. Any error messages related to the processing of the batch are sent to your Amazon Web Services CloudWatch log. You can also use the BatchGetDocumentStatus API to monitor the progress of deleting your documents.

Deleting documents from an index using BatchDeleteDocument could take up to an hour or more, depending on the number of documents you want to delete.

DataSourceId -> (string)

The ID of the data source that is running the sync job.

DataSourceSyncJobId -> (string)

If the ID of a sync job is not provided and there is a sync job running, then the ID of this sync job is used and metrics are generated for this sync job.

If the ID of a sync job is not provided and there is no sync job running, then no metrics are generated and documents are indexed/deleted at the index level without sync job metrics included.

Shorthand Syntax:

DataSourceId=string,DataSourceSyncJobId=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "DataSourceId": "string",
  "DataSourceSyncJobId": "string"
}

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
