I am using scala+java application and running it on jdk 11 and calling Elasticsearch api for searching text.  
Recently upgraded from elasticsearch 5.5 to 7.17 and while search text getting below error.

Same call from application was working with elasticsearch 5.5.  
Elasticsearch is running fine and direct curl command to search text is working fine.  
Can anyone provide any solution or pointers why I am getting this.

elasticsearch 5.5 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

So far what I figure out is, application is calling elasticsearch for cluster state and failing with HTTP GET.

ClusterState clusterState = getClient().admin().cluster().state(new ClusterStateRequest()).actionGet().getState();
