In the documentation [Using Bulk Processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-docs-bulk-processor.html), the following snippet is provided:

```auto
BulkProcessor bulkProcessor = BulkProcessor.builder(client, new BulkProcessor.Listener() { /* Listener methods */ })
.setBulkActions(10000)
.setConcurrentRequests(0)
.build();

```

and it requires the Client interface.

but in the [High Level Rest Client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.1/java-rest-high.html) it says that we should be using the high level rest client, which does not implement the Client interface. neither does the .getLowLevelClient

[Supported APIs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.1/java-rest-high-supported-apis.html) lists Bulk API as supported.

if we want to use the BulkProcessor, does that mean that we revert back to the TransportClient?

Did you read [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/java-rest-high-document-bulk.html#java-rest-high-document-bulk-processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/java-rest-high-document-bulk.html#java-rest-high-document-bulk-processor)

Example here: [https://github.com/dadoonet/legacy-search/blob/02-bulk/src/main/java/fr/pilato/demo/legacysearch/dao/ElasticsearchDao.java](https://github.com/dadoonet/legacy-search/blob/02-bulk/src/main/java/fr/pilato/demo/legacysearch/dao/ElasticsearchDao.java)

Thanks,  
Example helped.  
My problem was that I was on Java 1.7 instead of 1.8
