Hi Elasticsearchers,

I've lost QueryBuilders.percolateQuery (referenced [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/5.x/java-specialized-queries.html#java-query-percolate-query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/5.x/java-specialized-queries.html#java-query-percolate-query))

Thanks!  
Dan.

Hi,

those utility methods have been removed when [Percolator was moved to its own module](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/18511). Those methods in QueryBuilders didn't do much themselves other than creating a new PercolateQueryBuilder with the arguments you passed in, so it should be straight forward to create your builder directly.

Ok. It would be cool to have a fluent builder in the module.
