Hi, I trying to development for my service using ES.
Java API doesn't support cat API? I tried to find cat API for java, but can't found it.
I could try to REST cat API using Java's URLConnection or other REST template libraries, but I don't like it.
Cat is just a REST endpoint which simplifies end user calls.
As a Java dev, you can execute same cat internal calls. Have a look at this package https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tree/master/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/cat
hi @dadoonet , how can we call this api. i tried using elasticsearch transport client and could not find anything .
Could you please sample snippet of code to get. for example, for action "_cat/indices". I am struck up with this , please help me.
You can't call the APIs from java. You can use the rest controllers as
references for how you can make the same sequence of calls that they do.
