Context:
I want to reindex a (remote) index, with the JAVA client (RestHighLevelClient, right ?) using the client version 7.2.1 (but I can probably upgrade if needed).
Also, I want to use a wait\_for\_completion=false to not keep the http call during the index.
Following the documentation:
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high-document-reindex.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high-document-reindex.html) --\> I got a taskId.
- I assume that I should not use a transport client, as this will be deprecated
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-docs-update-by-query.html#java-docs-update-by-query-task-api](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-docs-update-by-query.html#java-docs-update-by-query-task-api) explain how to use the taskAPI, and ..
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-admin.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-admin.html) how to get an 'admin' client.
However, I don't have the method "admin" on my [RestHighLevelClient](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/client/rest-high-level/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/client/RestHighLevelClient.java)
Question:
1. Can I achieve an aynchronious reindex operation and have the status of this task with the Java RestHighLevelClient
2. If not, did you have any other alternative. I don't really want to rely on curl/httpget stuff ideally.
