Re: ElasticSearch use of rest client (instead of TransportClient)

That's mainly because the Java drivers changed in a way that made impossible to use the same adapter. I might be wrong, but I think the ES5 adapter doesn't work with an ES2 server instance just like the ES2 adapter doesn't work with an ES5+ server instance. 

If all of this could just go away, that would be great :)

Yes it should be, since it is just an http client (apache http).
ElasticSearch Rest API (query API) didn't change much
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/breaking-changes-5.0.html>
.

Next question would be : why there is a need in two separate modules
elasticsearch2 and elasticsearch5

Hey Andrei,

that would be awesome! Do you know by any chance if the low level client
is also compatible with older ES versions?

Hello,

ES TransportClient is deprecated in 7.0 (to be removed
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-a
pi/master/transport-client.html>
in 8.0) in favor of http rest client(s). Would you consider a contribution
switching to Rest Low-Level Client
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-r
est/current/java-rest-low.html>(which
has much fewer dependencies) ?


Thanks,
Andrei.
