Having trouble getting an early example of the generic client to work. Cannot resolve the imports used. Using 2.19.0 client. Can you identify the imports or a corrected query? Response response = client.generic().perform( SimpleEndpoint.builder() .method(“POST”) .path(“/” + index + “/\_search”) .body(JsonData.fromJson(escapedQuery)) .build() );
