Hello,

I'm looking for the new equivalent of the old [BoolQueryBuilder.hasClauses()](https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.elasticsearch/elasticsearch/6.0.1/org/elasticsearch/index/query/BoolQueryBuilder.html#hasClauses--) for Elasticsearch 8 Java client.

It seems to [have completely dissapear](https://artifacts.elastic.co/javadoc/co/elastic/clients/elasticsearch-java/8.5.0/co/elastic/clients/elasticsearch/_types/query_dsl/BoolQuery.Builder.html) ? Any workaround about ?
