Delete expired data APIedit

Deletes expired machine learning data. The API accepts a DeleteExpiredRequest and responds with a DeleteExpiredResponse object.

Delete expired data requestedit

A DeleteExpiredDataRequest object does not require any arguments.

DeleteExpiredDataRequest request = new DeleteExpiredDataRequest( 
    null, 
    1000.0f, 
    TimeValue.timeValueHours(12) 
);

Constructing a new request.

Optionally set a job ID. Use null for the default wild card all *.

Providing requests per second throttling for the deletion processes. Default is no throttling.

Setting how long the deletion processes will be allowed to run before they are canceled. Default value is 8h (8 hours).

Delete expired data responseedit

The returned DeleteExpiredResponse object indicates the acknowledgement of the request:

boolean deleted = response.getDeleted(); 

getDeleted acknowledges the deletion request.

Synchronous executionedit

When executing a DeleteExpiredRequest in the following manner, the client waits for the DeleteExpiredResponse to be returned before continuing with code execution:

DeleteExpiredDataResponse response = client.machineLearning().deleteExpiredData(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Synchronous calls may throw an IOException in case of either failing to parse the REST response in the high-level REST client, the request times out or similar cases where there is no response coming back from the server.

In cases where the server returns a 4xx or 5xx error code, the high-level client tries to parse the response body error details instead and then throws a generic ElasticsearchException and adds the original ResponseException as a suppressed exception to it.

Asynchronous executionedit

Executing a DeleteExpiredRequest can also be done in an asynchronous fashion so that the client can return directly. Users need to specify how the response or potential failures will be handled by passing the request and a listener to the asynchronous delete-expired-data method:

client.machineLearning().deleteExpiredDataAsync(deleteExpiredDataRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT, listener); 

The DeleteExpiredRequest to execute and the ActionListener to use when the execution completes

The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is completed the ActionListener is called back using the onResponse method if the execution successfully completed or using the onFailure method if it failed. Failure scenarios and expected exceptions are the same as in the synchronous execution case.

A typical listener for delete-expired-data looks like:

ActionListener<DeleteExpiredDataResponse> listener = new ActionListener<DeleteExpiredDataResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(DeleteExpiredDataResponse deleteExpiredDataResponse) {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Exception e) {
        
    }
};

Called when the execution is successfully completed.

Called when the whole DeleteExpiredRequest fails.
