Hi @hyhong,
this blog post:
> **[Elasticsearch Java Clients](https://www.elastic.co/blog/state-of-the-official-elasticsearch-java-clients)**

> Java programmers have two choices when communicating with Elasticsearch: they can use either the REST API over HTTP, or the internal Java API used by Elasticsearch itself for node-to-node communication.
contains reasons why transport client is deprecated. Please also pay attention to the migration guide in docs here:
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/7.0/java-rest-high-level-migration.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/7.0/java-rest-high-level-migration.html)
