Initial version of the Java API client for the upcoming Elasticsearch Serverless.
The major difference is that Elasticsearch Serverless will abstract all infrastructure concerns from users, and as such has a reduced API surface. This new flavor of the Elasticsearch Java API client uses the same base framework and same package names as the "regular" client, but with a reduced number of APIs. It is meant for users who want to ensure their code will work on the current Elasticsearch and the upcoming Serverless flavor.
In terms of implementation, we now have to parallel
java-client
andjava-client-serverless
projects. The Java packages that are common to both are shared using symbolic links from the serverless client to the existing client. This ensures minimal disruption in the code layout and build system.In the future, the client will be split into different modules, and the existing Maven artifact will be a parent project with dependencies on child modules.
