It it possible to use delete by query plugin within bulk api in Elasticsearch?

I am using Elasticsearch 2.4. I want to perform large number of deletion operations together.Each deletion operation has a distinct criteria to delete. Bulk Delete Query Plugin provides deletion based on query. But, I want to generate multiple deletion queries and used it with the Bulk Api so that there will be a single request. Is it possible ?

The answer is no.

Elasticsearch explicitly mentioned in Bulk API documentation: The possible actions are index, create, delete and update.

Please refer to here: ES 2.x bulk operation guide

1 step further to version 5.x which I am currently working on, UpdateByQuery became built in function but still not included in Bulk operation actions.
