Preface: new to Elasticsearch...

I Googled for some info about the Java SDK and I ended up [here on the document index api page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-docs-index.html), cool 🕶, that should do the trick for what I need 👍.

Only to eventually find out the [TransportClient has been deprecated](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-api.html) and I should be using the [REST client(s)](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/java-rest-overview.html).

I mean, who backs up to read the [preface](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-api.html)? 😜 Got what I need and I'm moving on.

Thoughts? 💭

Note @moderator(s): I don't know which category and tag(s) I should be using for this topic please update them as needed, thanks (or tell me I'll try to change it if I can)

Fair enough.

May be you should open an issue in elasticsearch repository (the documentation is living [there](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tree/7.x/docs/java-api))?
