Introduction into the Java HTTP REST Client for Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch comes with a bunch of clients for different languages, like JavaScript, Ruby, Go, .NET, PHP, Perl, Python and most recently even Rust. A late starter (starting in 5.x, but only fully supported from 7.0) was the Java High Level REST client, that intended to replace the TransportClient. This presentation talks a little bit about the reasoning while showing a lot of examples how to use the client, and even comes with a small sample project. Check the elasticsearch-rest-client-samples github project.
