Hi,

ES client allows loading the certificate for trust as described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/_encrypted_communication.html#_encrypted_communication).

But what happens if the certificate changes? Is there a way to reload the certificate (e.g. recreate the sslContext context?) without having to recreate the RestHighLevelClient?

Thanks.
