Remove Processoredit

Removes existing fields. If one field doesn’t exist, an exception will be thrown.

Table 45. Remove Options

Name	Required	Default	Description
`field`	yes	-	Fields to be removed
`ignore_missing`	no	`false`	If `true` and `field` does not exist or is `null`, the processor quietly exits without modifying the document

Here is an example to remove a single field:

{
  "remove": {
    "field": "foo"
  }
}

To remove multiple fields, you can use the following query:

{
  "remove": {
    "field": ["foo", "bar"]
  }
}
