I want to implement "Discover search" (present in Kibana) in my application so I need to convert KQL to DSL using java api client at server side.  
is there any way to do that?  
can I use query\_string like below  
QueryBuilders.queryString(qs-\>qs.query("");

Unfortunately I don't think it's possible. Implementation lives in Kibana code base in typescript and is only available there
