After upgrading Elasticsearch to 7.16.2, Elasticsearch [Java Rest Client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/index.html) seems to be deprecated. We are migrating to [Java API client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/current/index.html) which lacks proper documentation. Please help. ---

The documentation of the Java API client is still a work in progress and will be improved. In the meantime, do you have a more specific question so that we can help? ---
