Accessing a Cluster Through the Rest Low Level Client

The high-level client is encapsulated based on the low-level client. If the method calls (such as .search and .bulk) in the high-level client cannot meet the requirements or has compatibility issues, you can use the low-level client. You can even use HighLevelClient.getLowLevelClient() to directly obtain a low-level client. A low-level client allows you to define the request structure, which is more flexible and supports all the request formats of Elasticsearch, such as GET, POST, DELETE, and HEAD.

This section describes how to use the Rest Low Level Client to access the CSS cluster. The methods are as follows. For each method, you can directly create a REST low-level client, or create a high-level client and then invoke getLowLevelClient() to obtain a low-level client.

Precautions

You are advised to use the Rest Low Level Client version that matches the Elasticsearch version. For example, use Rest Low Level Client 7.6.2 to access the Elasticsearch cluster 7.6.2.

Prerequisites

  • The CSS cluster is available.
  • Ensure that the server running Java can communicate with the CSS cluster.
  • Install JDK 1.8 on the server. You can download JDK 1.8 from: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
  • Declare the Apache version in Maven mode. The following code uses version 7.6.2 as an example.

    7.6.2 indicates the version of the Elasticsearch Java client.

    <dependency>
    	<groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
    	<artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-client</artifactId>
    	<version>7.6.2</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
        <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
        <version>7.6.2</version>
    </dependency>
