Hi,

I have just migrated from elasticsearch 6.6 to 6.7.

I have created my index using the below guide.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.7/java-rest-high-create-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.7/java-rest-high-create-index.html)

But the create method is showing me as deprecated. But it is not shown as deprecated in the guide.

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/a/fabb7a0e71459588edaba18d52937821637cf1d5.png)

Which is the correct method to use?

Any help here.

Thanks,  
HarshaYerasi.

There's another `create()` method with a different request type, `org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexRequest`, that you should use instead. This is mentioned in the `@deprecated` Javadocs.

Basically change your import:

```auto
import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexRequest;

```
