I am using elasticsearch in c# web api, so I need to make decision to use high level client or low level client.My question is which one I need to prefer and can you explain me performance wise impact for both the clients. ---

No performance difference between both I'd say. I'm not familiar with C# but can you use Java lib from C#? ---
