Is there a utility that can convert lucene query string format to ES Java API format? We are planning to use lucene query parser to validate query string entered by user in our application before creating a request to ES.

Yeah, don't try to wrap the query\_string in piles of regexes to make sure it never throws errors and blocks features you don't want but lets through features you do. It isn't fun.
