The transport client supports the following Elastic example:

AggregationBuilder aggregation =  
AggregationBuilders  
.significantTerms("significant\_countries")  
.field("address.country");

```
		SearchResponse sr = client.prepareSearch()
		        .setQuery(QueryBuilders.termQuery("gender", "male"))
		        .addAggregation(aggregation)
		        .get();

```

I cannot locate in the REST client a point where .setQuery() can be invoked.  
My objective is to establish an overall query for a multi-bucket aggregation.

Thanks

searchSourceBuilder.query(QueryBuilders.boolQuery());  
for example
