Hi,

I am trying to add ElasticSearch Suggestion in my response and implementing it using SearchRequestBuilder as:-  
SearchResponse searchResponse = searchRequestBuilder.execute().actionGet(1m);

Query is correct as I tried it using kibana but Java API is showing me below error:

```

```

I debugged this and found that registry content for suggestion from elasticsearch-httpclient-7.2.1.jar -\> org.codelibs.elasticsearch.client.HttpClient -\> getDefaultNamedXContents() is commented.

```
    // entries.add(new NamedXContentRegistry.Entry(Suggest.Suggestion.class, new ParseField(TermSuggestion.NAME),
    // (parser, context) -> TermSuggestion.fromXContent(parser, (String) context)));
    // entries.add(new NamedXContentRegistry.Entry(Suggest.Suggestion.class, new ParseField(PhraseSuggestion.NAME),
    // (parser, context) -> PhraseSuggestion.fromXContent(parser, (String) context)));
    // entries.add(new NamedXContentRegistry.Entry(Suggest.Suggestion.class, new ParseField(CompletionSuggestion.NAME),
    // (parser, context) -> CompletionSuggestion.fromXContent(parser, (String) context)));

```

Why is that part commented? Is their any other jar I'll have to use? Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks,  
Shweta
