We have a need for many of our services to build ElasticSearch JSON search requests and pass them into a separate service's REST endpoint that is actually doing the searches. In order to build the searches, they are utilizing the QueryBuilder, FilterBuilder, and SearchRequestBuilder classes from the "org.elasticsearch.search" package. Currently, we have to include the whole, heavy-weight "elasticsearch-0.90.2.jar" and dependent libraries into quite a few services to make this work which is causing issues with a large number of loaded classes and such in our service servers. It would be desirable to have some of the packages in the "elasticsearch-\*.jar" files split into separate JAR files so that only the needed packages could be bundled into our WARs. Does anyone know if this has been done already by a third-party? Does anyone else have the same or similar needs so that this could be put on the to-be-developed list for ES? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

First of all: 0.90.2 is released? No announcement, but it's on the download page. Issues were still being tagged 0.90.2 several hours ago. There is no separate client library. Jorg was working on one, but I do not know the status: > **[GitHub - jprante/elasticsearch-client: Modularized, OpenJDK 11 version of...](https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-client)** > > Modularized, OpenJDK 11 version of Elasticsearch client - GitHub - jprante/elasticsearch-client: Modularized, OpenJDK 11 version of Elasticsearch client > **[GitHub - jprante/elasticsearch-helper: Helper classes for Elasticsearch client](https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-helper)** > > Helper classes for Elasticsearch client.

I intend to continue the work on my Java "client only" ES version when ES 1.0 is feature complete, but if there is demand, I can pick up the development sooner. Note, in order to create a smaller client library, not much code can be dropped, in fact, there are some Lucene jars which are not related to queries. Compression is a feature that could be dropped (or redesigned as optinal via META-INF/services) if a small client jar size is most important, but I have to check how Lucene supports this.

We definitely have a need for a "client only" library.

OK, I will start over with a "client only" version based on 0.90.2 and come back to the list if I have any results.
