In elasticsearch, while using "curl", everything works like a charm.  
But when we try to do it with java api, there is a lack of documentation.

java api in elasticsearch has very few examples:-  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/java-api/client.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/java-api/client.html)

However, for curl, there are hundreds of examples.

Is there any other link which provides java commands equivalent to curl  
commands?

🙂 That is not also a true answer to your question as well but if you are  
fine by http rest try Jest, [GitHub - searchbox-io/Jest: Elasticsearch Java Rest Client.](https://github.com/searchbox-io/Jest)
