Hi,

is there a roadmap and availability dates for an official Elasticsearch Java REST API?

It would be nice if it could become a feature of the transport client to either use the TCP protocol or HTTP protocol.

Thanks,  
Mark

No date AFAIK. See [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/7743](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/7743)

You could consider JEST though.

As long as the binary protocol version does not go away!
