I want to perform multiple /\_count API requests in one go.
There is a `MultiSearchRequest` that accepts multiple `SearchRequest`s, but not an equivalent for `CountRequest`s
Dependency:
```auto
compile group: 'org.elasticsearch.client', name: 'elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client', version: '7.1.1'
```
Is there another object I should be using? Or is this just not possible?

Nevermind - I can see from this: [Search API vs Count API performance?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/search-api-vs-count-api-performance/126544) that actually `_count` is just a `_search` under the hood.
I'll stick with `MultiSearchRequest` and `"size": 0` for now.
