Hi,
I am using Java High Level REST Client to get the data. I used the Search api to get the response.
My response has hits arrays. and each hit contains the \_type,\_id,\_index,\_score fields.Actually I don't want these field to appear in my response.
Please let me know how to achieve this using High Level REST Client api.
My response look like as
"hits": [
{
**"\_index": "stratosevents",**
**"\_type": "doc",**
**"\_id":**"45e8af72-bf3f-4ebc-8197-bfcc4ba90f57-cisco",
" **\_score":** 1.0909792,
"\_source": {
"field": true,
```
}
},
{
**"_index":**"stratosevents",
**"_type":**"doc",
**"_id":**"b75bfd4f-896b-40d7-af9f-ed92a96a904a-smm-sj12-ij1",
**"_score":** 1.0909792,
"_source": {
"field": true,
}
},
```
Here I don't want to get this \_index, \_type,\_id and \_score fields in response.
Please suggest .

Also let me know if this can be done via Low level rest client.

Do you mean that you are sending back the json response as is to your users or to the frontend?
