Good day,
I am currently instantiating a Client similar to
[http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java\_api/client/#TransportClientusing](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/client/#TransportClientusing)
spring, which implies that I only instantiate this once and use it
everywhere. Is that the proper way to use it?
I am not sure when the 'sniffing' occurs. Does it occur during client
creation or for every client#get(..) invocation?
## Thanks,

Yes, you should shard the client as a "singleton". The sniffing happens in
the background, based on the list of addresses provided.

Take a look at this post:

I have a TransportClientFactoryBean example here:

I'm using guice and essentially this 4 lines in Module.configure:
Settings s = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder().put("cluster.name",
cluster).build();
TransportClient tmp = new TransportClient(s);
tmp.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(url, port));
bind(MyCustomWrapper.class).toInstance(new MyCustomWrapper(tmp));
Then all I need is:
@Inject private Provider myIndexProvider;
to access Elasticsearch in my UI or elsewhere via:
myIndexProvider.get().doSomething();
