Hey!

We are using Elasticsearch 7.17 + the corresponding transport client.  
I try to calculate the consumed disk space from Elasticsearch without the cat API and came up with this solution ([documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/indices-stats.html)):

```auto
curl -H 'Content-type: application/json' -XGET 'http://localhost/_all/_stats/store?level=cluster'

```

Which works perfectly fine when using curl.

So, I want to mimic that behavior with the java transport client with the `IndicesStatsRequest` but it seems, the query parameter `level` does not exist there. All other query parameters mentioned in the documentation are present (`indicesStatsRequest.fieldDataFields()`, `indicesStatsRequest.groups()`,... to name a view)

My question is, how can add the `level` query parameter to the request using the java transport client?

Thanks in advance 🙂

There is no `level` parameter in the transport protocol. You always get all the detail.

(also the transport client has been deprecated for a very long time, I recommend moving to the HTTP client)

Thank you David for clarifying. It was driving me crazy to not find the option. Now, I have the confirmation though.

Just FYI, we are in the progress of migrating to the http client, but sadly it's not so easy, given a lot of the interfaces changed or do not exist anymore 😕
