Below code is for Elasticsearch Client version 7.17. Can't find equivalent code in Elasticsearch Client version 8.7

```auto
Script storedScript = new Script(ScriptType.STORED, null, script.getScriptId(), (Map<String, Object>) script.getParams());
UpdateByQueryRequest request = new UpdateByQueryRequest(indexName);
request.setQuery(query);
request.setScript(storedScript);
request.setMaxRetries(ES_QUERY_MAX_RETRY);
request.setRetryBackoffInitialTime(TimeValue.timeValueMillis(ES_QUERY_RETRY_BACKOFF_TIME));

```

Thanks in advance,
