I have read [this similar post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/requesthandler/177325/5), along with [this documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-visualization-request-handlers.html#development-default-request-handler) about request handlers. Is there an example someone can point me that shows how to implement a simple request handler?
