Difference between .index() and .prepareIndex()

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi guys,

whats the differences between these both calls. Is the first one a newer
approach:

final IndexResponse response =
this.esClient.prepareIndex(index,type).setSource(source).execute().actionGet();

and...

final IndexRequest request = new IndexRequest(index,type).source(source);
final IndexResponse response = this.esClient.index(request).actionGet();

Regards,
Alex

There is no difference when it comes to code execution, it is just that ES
has more than one API style.

prepareIndex() uses an IndexRequestBuilder behind the scenes, and follows a
kind of a "fluent interface" with a builder pattern

A more verbose example of prepareIndex() would be
client.prepareIndex().setIndex(index).setType(type).setId(id).setSource(source).execute().actionGet()
