How to this query with Elastica ?

Answer 1

Something like this should do:

$age_range = new NumericRange('age', array(
    'gte' => 10,
    'lte' => 20,
    'boost' => 2.0
));
$client->getIndex("index-name")->deleteByQuery($age_range);

Note that if you are running ES 2.x (any version), you need to install the delete-by-query plugin first. If you are running ES 1.x or 5.x you don't need to install any additional plugin.
