Hi ES community =) I would like to use the Java API to connect to an ES Cluster but run into dependency problems with Lucene. (Using an embedded neo4j which depends on Lucene 3.x) When using the HTTP API directly, Lucene is not necessary! So is there a way how I can use the ES Java API without the Lucene dependency ??

I don’t think you can. You could have a look at JEST project which might not depend on Lucene. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet [https://twitter.com/dadoonet](https://twitter.com/dadoonet) | @elasticsearchfr [https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr](https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr) | @scrutmydocs [https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs](https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs) > Le 11 déc. 2014 à 12:04, TekTimmy [timmyschweer@gmail.com](mailto:timmyschweer@gmail.com) a écrit : > > Hi ES community =) > > I would like to use the Java API to connect to an ES Cluster but run into dependency problems with Lucene.
