Does someone has a good guide how to use java in combination with elasticsearch? Or just a nice example that can help me?  
Everything I find on google is or outdate or not complete or very poorly documentated.

Greetings Bert

Some examples here:

- Transport Client: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index.html)
- Rest Client: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/index.html)
- Coming High Level Rest Client (WIP): [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high.html)

Which client do you want to use?

I was planning to use REST.  
But I don't know how to get started. Is there something that i should download to get started or do you have to start from scratch?

There is little documentation about the Rest Client.

I'm using it in this project: [https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/src/main/java/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fs/client/ElasticsearchClient.java#L74-L83](https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/src/main/java/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fs/client/ElasticsearchClient.java#L74-L83)

In case it helps.
