Initialization

A RestHighLevelClient instance needs a REST low-level client builder to be built as follows:

RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
        RestClient.builder(
                new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http"),
                new HttpHost("localhost", 9201, "http")));

The high-level client will internally create the low-level client used to perform requests based on the provided builder. That low-level client maintains a pool of connections and starts some threads so you should close the high-level client when you are well and truly done with it and it will in turn close the internal low-level client to free those resources. This can be done through the close:

client.close();

In the rest of this documentation about the Java High Level Client, the RestHighLevelClient instance will be referenced as client.
