Hi,  
I am writing java API code to take the snapshot of es. I am unable to find the maven repo for that.  
public CreateSnapshotResponse createSnapshot(Client client, String repositoryName,  
String snapshotName, String indexName){

```
    CreateSnapshotResponse createSnapshotResponse = null;
    try {

        if(isSnapshotExist(client, repositoryName, snapshotName))
            logger.info(snapshotName + " snapshot already exists");

        else {

            createSnapshotResponse = client.admin().cluster()
                                     .prepareCreateSnapshot(repositoryName, snapshotName)
                                     .setWaitForCompletion(true)
                                     .setIndices(indexName).get();

            logger.info("Snapshot was created.");
        }

    } catch (Exception ex){
        logger.error("Exception in createSnapshot method: " + ex.toString());

    } finally {
        return createSnapshotResponse;
    }
}
```

Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part.

It's fine to answer on your own thread after 2 or 3 days (not including weekends) if you don't have an answer.
