Basic authenticationedit

Configuring basic authentication can be done by providing an HttpClientConfigCallback while building the RestClient through its builder. The interface has one method that receives an instance of org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.HttpAsyncClientBuilder as an argument and has the same return type. The http client builder can be modified and then returned. In the following example we set a default credentials provider that requires basic authentication.

final CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY,
        new UsernamePasswordCredentials("user", "password"));

RestClient restClient = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200))
        .setHttpClientConfigCallback(new RestClientBuilder.HttpClientConfigCallback() {
            @Override
            public HttpAsyncClientBuilder customizeHttpClient(HttpAsyncClientBuilder httpClientBuilder) {
                return httpClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider);
            }
        })
        .build();
