I am having requirement where in I need to use filter specified in json  
through elasticsearch Java API.

for example below elasticsearch json filter needs to be used through Java  
API:  
"filter" : {  
"bool" : {  
"should" : [  
{ "term" : {"productID" : "KDKE-B-9947-#kL5"}},  
{ "bool" : {  
"must" : [  
{ "term" : {"productID" : "JODL-X-1937-#pV7"}},  
{ "term" : {"price" : 30}}  
]  
}}  
]  
}  
}

I have explored SearchRequestBuilder.setExtraSource and  
SearchRequestBuilder.setSearchType but they do not solve the above issue.  
How would I go about it?

Thanks.
