Hi All, I am new to RestHighLevelClient Java API, could someone please help me on writing code for validating final query before executing in elasticsearch. I came to know that ElasticSearch is providing ValidateAPI, but there is no where given sample implementation using RestHighLevelClient object for validating query. Thanks, GRP ---

It's not yet there. See: > In the meantime, you need to implement that by yourself using the low level instance and by sending the GET request "manually" and reading the response "manually". [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-validate.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-validate.html) Out of curiosity, why are you using this API? I'm not seeing that used super often. ---
