Does HBase REST API support bulk delete?

Hi experts,

I noticed that RemoteHTable supports bulk delete

delete(List<Delete> deletes)
Deletes the specified cells/rows in bulk.


However from some online documentations, for example,

https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/cdh/5/hbase/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/rest/package-summary.html

I cannot find REST APIs to do bulk delete. I can find REST APIs to do bulk
insert by specifying a false row key in the REST url.

Is bulk delete supported in REST APIs in HBase?

Thanks,
Duo
