Is there a package I can use to convert a KQL string to the query DSL for elasticsearch?  
[This question](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/javascript-convert-query-string-to-query-dsl/167927) is outdated as that package no longer exists.

The `kbn-es-query` package has been relocated to the `data` plugin, but all of the same methods should be available there:

```auto
// old location
import { buildEsQuery } from '@kbn/es-query';
buildEsQuery();

// new location; grouped under an `esQuery` namespace
import { esQuery } from '../../src/plugins/data/public';
esQuery.buildEsQuery();

```
