Hi,  
I am interestes to know does the " **ESIntegTestCase**" support the use of SearchTemplateRequestBuilder in ES 5.6?

For example, as part of a test extending _ESIntegTestCase_:

_SearchResponse response = client.prepareSearch(INDEX\_NAME).setTypes(INDEX\_TYPE)_  
\_ .setQuery(QueryBuilders.termQuery("_id", id)).execute().get();_

works fine, however

_SearchTemplateRequestBuilder searchTemplateBuilder = new SearchTemplateRequestBuilder(client);_  
\_ SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest().indices(INDEX\_NAME).types(INDEX\_TYPE);\_  
\_ searchTemplateBuilder.setRequest(searchRequest).setScript(script).setScriptType(ScriptType.INLINE)\_  
\_ .setScriptParams(parameters);\_  
_SearchResponse response = searchTemplateBuilder.get().getResponse();_

fails with exception:  
_java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.NullPointerException_  
\_ at \__randomizedtesting.SeedInfo.seed_

Thanks in advance fr any advice,  
James
