Hi all,

ElasticSearch Version : 6.7  
Rest Hight Level Client Version: 6.6.1

I'm trying to use Reindex API [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.6/java-rest-high-document-reindex.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.6/java-rest-high-document-reindex.html)

ReindexRequest request = new ReindexRequest(); // this is good  
request.setSourceIndices("source1", "source2"); //method not detected  
request.setDestIndex("dest"); // method not detected

I have built the rest high level client from Maven - Maven-org-elasticsearch-client\_elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client = 6.6.1

setSourceIndices and setDestIndex are not getting recognized and and when i open ReindexRequest class to verify if they actually exists, they are not there.

So, could you please suggest alternatives/next steps to perform the Re-index here
