Thanks for give fast reply.  
i already used this.  
My Code is:  
Node node = nodeBuilder()  
.settings(ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder().put("path.home", "/home/amit/elasticsearch-2.1.0/bin"))  
.client(true)  
.node();  
Client client = node.client();

When i used "ImmutableSettings" in elasticsearch 2.1.1 then i got "ImmutableSettings cannot be resolved" this type of error.

Please help me out...

Try using the TransportClient instead of the NodeBuilder
