Bret,

I just tried to install ES 2.4.2 with delete-by-query-plugin and everything works! This is my logs:

[2016-12-02 08:43:45,074][INFO ][node                     ] [Star-Lord] version[2.4.2], pid[1], build[161c65a/2016-11-17T11:51:03Z]
[2016-12-02 08:43:45,074][INFO ][node                     ] [Star-Lord] initializing ...

I tested the search, indexing, and removing objects using 'delete-by-query' plugin, Everything works

I think the problem is that you try to install incompatible version of delete-by-query plugin. To make sure that you install right version, please use ES built-in tool:

/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install delete-by-query --verbose

We have even Dockerfile to build ES instance https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/test-elastic-image/blob/master/Dockerfile. More over, every GitLab EE test build is tested with ES 2.4.2 (with delete-by-query)! So it should work properly
