I am trying to migrate my code to the ES version 6.30. According to  
[this documentation page:](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.x/_changing_the_application_8217_s_code.html)

... In my java class I am to instantiate a IndexResponse opject like this:  
IndexResponse response = client.index(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

The documentation states that the RequestOptions is a member of the low level client.

I am using Maven to gather all the necessary ES dependencies. I have included the dependency for the low level client in my POM with:  
org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-client - version 6.3.0 - the latest in the Maven repository. However there is no RequestOptions class in this package.

Where can I find the RequestOptions class that I need to create a IndexResponse statement?

Thank you for your time.

I don't know why this is not part of the ES V6.3.0 download however I did find it here:

The documentation you are looking at is for coming major versions, like 6.4.

In 6.3, instead of

```auto
IndexResponse response = client.index(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

```

write:

```auto
IndexResponse response = client.index(request);

```

See documentation for 6.3.0: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.3/\_changing\_the\_application\_8217\_s\_code.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.3/_changing_the_application_8217_s_code.html)
