Is there any way in elastic search to filter on multiple terms. One of the field in our elastic document is language\_code.  
I want to set the filter in boolqueryfilter something like below  
boolQueryBuilder.filter(language\_code == en or language\_code == ar)

Currently I am setting two filters, one with en and another with ar. But it is getting acted as AND.(get me documents where language\_code is en and ar)  
Is there any way to do OR in filter?
