Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

CODE
```

````

Some thoughts:

- Prefer using the Java REST Client instead
- Share you code
- Add missing libs (log4j2) although it's probably not the problem here.
