Is it a question about elasticsearch or about Java?

I mean that if you are looking for Elasticsearch Java documentation, you can read that here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index.html)

If you are looking for something else can you precise a bit what you want to do and which technology/framework you want to use?

You should use php /python or any client to communicate with es. you can write your query from indices..
