Add Elasticsearch Transport Client to my app and the size increased 20MB

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Here is my configuration in maven

 <dependency>
	  <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
	  <artifactId>transport</artifactId>
	  <version>5.0.1</version>
  </dependency>

Is this normal ?
It's very inconvenient to deploy since compiled app is big (37MB +elasticsearch client)
Thanks

Yes. Unfortunately the transport client pull the whole Elasticsearch core code base.

Do you have any idea to work around with this ?
