Hi,  
while executing the code it is showing the error in this statement....specifiying that source not found and even not going to catch block..

try {  
client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(Settings.EMPTY)  
.addTransportAddresses(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName("localhost"), 9300));  
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {  
e.printStackTrace();  
}

This might be better looked at on the Elasticsearch forum. I'll move your post.
