rebuild option deletes the entire index. Either remove or modify the behavior

[mrpatrickwest]

I say that if we want to delete the index that we delete it from the command line instead of one of the ingest scripts. Currently if you use the --rebuild option to the ingest scripts it deletes the entire index and not just the type information (mapping and documents)

@zednis what do you think?

I think we should update the script if needed. Ideally when the scripts are fully developed we won't have to use the command line for common tasks.

When you say it deletes the entire index, do you mean /dco or /dco/type?

[mrpatrickwest]

Well, seemed like when I tried to delete /dco/type that it deleted all of /dco. But my tests on localhost seem to show otherwise. So changing the scripts to just delete /dco/type should do the trick. Perhaps I had a typo in my first attempt.

Is this still a confirmed bug?
