Is there a way to send gzipped document update to ES using the low-level Java RestClient?

I intend to send a `_bulk` update using `RestClient` this way:

```auto
restClient.performRequest("POST", "endpoint/_bulk", emptyMap(),
    new GzipCompressingEntity(new NStringEntity("<document>", "application/json")));

```

but I'm getting the following error:

```auto
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: null
! at org.apache.http.client.entity.GzipCompressingEntity.getContent(GzipCompressingEntity.java:100)

```
