If true and field does not exist or is null, the processor quietly exits without modifying the document

Here is an example to remove a single field:

{
  "remove": {
    "field": "foo"
  }
}

To remove multiple fields, you can use the following query:

{
  "remove": {
    "field": ["foo", "bar"]
  }
}
