About a year and a half ago, I worked on a project that used elasticsearch-py, and I remember we saw an order-of-magnitude decrease in query round-trip time when we used the thrift transport.  
I'm now working on a different project and coming back to elasticsearch, and I see that thrift is being deprecated, according to [this](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-transport-thrift).  
Should I use a different transport instead? Will I be able to achieve the same speed that I got with Thrift?  
Thanks
