Description

Hello beam maintainers,

I am trying to delete some index from Elasticsearch using beam pipeline. I couldn't find and delete function in ElasticsearchIO. It would be nice to have and would make sense for cleaning up indexes overtime.

 I also checked some other IO classes and they also don't support delete. Not sure if beam has some policy against supporting delete. 

 Please guide me on this. I am willing to create pull request if this feature makes sense to project contributors.
