Hi,

In the Elasticsearch documentation for elasticsearch-groovy there is a reference to Maven Central with version 5.0.0-alpha5 however the latest version available on any repo is 2.x. The github repo has no 5.x branch and the latest contribution was almost a year ago. Am I missing some artifacts? Will the elasticsearch-groovy library be updated to support Elasticsearch 5?

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/groovy-api/master/\_preface.html#\_preface](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/groovy-api/master/_preface.html#_preface)

(Trying to use the Java library resulted in importing plenty of dependencies and eventually a NullPointerException)

Thanks for any help!
