Attempting to use the new Javascript client and am having some linting errors with ESLint.

Using the prime example [from the docs here:](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/client-usage.html)  
ESLint is giving me an error:  
`ERROR: Parsing error: Unexpected token client`  
specifically on the line:  
`const result = await client.search({`

All the references I found online suggested I had the wrong ecmaVersion, but I have set to 2017, so shouldn't be the problem.

Other suggestions are the parser is wrong (tried as well). Does the example work for others?

I was assuming that the client was taking care of the async function, but is that not the case and it's not being wrapped in the async properly?
