Hi,

org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.exists.indices.IndicesExistsResponse was available in 7.x but no longer in 8.x. What is the replacement for this API (needed to update a plugin to support 8.x)?

Thanks.

I think you should run a GetIndex call and if the index does not exist, catch the 404 error basically.
