I'm getting the error:  
Type mismatch: cannot convert from org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.CreateIndexResponse to org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexResponse

```
CreateIndexRequest request = new CreateIndexRequest("index"); 

request.settings(Settings. builder () 

.put("index.number_of_shards", 3)

.put("index.number_of_replicas", 2)

);

CreateIndexResponse createIndexResponse = client.indices().create(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

```

Can anyone help me with this please?

Thank you!

Change the `import` line in your class I think.

From:

```auto
import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.CreateIndexResponse;

```

to

```auto
import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexResponse;

```

It seems Eclipse was adding  
`import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.CreateIndexRequest;`  
when it should have been  
`import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexRequest;`

Thank you!
