Hi,  
I am trying to make a bulk request using BulkRequest in java. I am not finding any documentation to retry the failed requests. Is there any inbuilt functionality in the java client api to handle retries or do I need to handle it the code. I am referring this page

> **[Bulk: indexing multiple documents | Elasticsearch Java API Client \[8.9\] |...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/8.9/indexing-bulk.html)**

Thank you
