Is Elastic 2.2 Java Client Backward compatible?

Hi All,
I've upgraded to elastic 2.2 java client and got following problems when
try to connect to Elastic 1.7:
1.transport client doesn't start. I create transport client as:
Settings settings = settingsBuilder()
.put("cluster.name", clusterName)
.build();
transportClient =
TransportClient.builder().settings(settings).build();
stream(InetAddress.getAllByName(host))
.forEach(address ->
transportClient.addTransportAddress(new
InetSocketTransportAddress(address, port)));

client seems to be created with no errors, but I get exception when send
request:

In debug status code is 3 in MessageChannelHandler.

Should I pass additional parameters or java client is not compatible with
older versions?

  1. I cannot send nested or filter, filter aggregation like this fails with
    parse error:
    "filter" : {
    "filter" : {
    "bool" : {
    "must" : {
    "nested" : {
    "query" : {
    "or" : {
    "filters" : [ {
    "term" : {
    "nested_array.double_full" : "125.89935"
    }
    }, {
    "term" : {
    "nested_array.double_full" : "466.30414"
    }
    } ]
    }
    },
    "path" : "nested_array"
    }
    }
    }
    }
    if I change query to filter -- it works,but there is no way to build such
    query in java. If I use or query outside of nested -- it works too.
    3.I see that or and and filters are deprecated and I should use boolQuery
    instead. How can I build or filter with boolQuery?

No. It's not compatible.
