Java high-level REST client

The OpenSearch Java high-level REST client will be deprecated starting with OpenSearch version 3.0.0 and will be removed in a future release. We recommend switching to the Java client instead. {: .warning}

The OpenSearch Java high-level REST client lets you interact with your OpenSearch clusters and indices through Java methods and data structures rather than HTTP methods and JSON.

Setup

To start using the OpenSearch Java high-level REST client, ensure that you have the following dependency in your project's pom.xml file:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.opensearch.client</groupId>
  <artifactId>opensearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
  <version>{{site.opensearch_version}}</version>
</dependency>

You can now start your OpenSearch cluster. The OpenSearch 1.x high-level REST client works with the 1.x versions of OpenSearch.

Security

Before using the REST client in your Java application, you must configure the application's truststore to connect to the Security plugin. If you are using self-signed certificates or demo configurations, you can use the following command to create a custom truststore and add in root authority certificates.

If you're using certificates from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), you don't need to configure the truststore.

keytool -import <path-to-cert> -alias <alias-to-call-cert> -keystore <truststore-name>

You can now point your Java client to the truststore and set basic authentication credentials that can access a secure cluster (refer to the sample code below on how to do so).

If you run into issues when configuring security, see common issues and troubleshoot TLS.

Sample program

This code example uses basic credentials that come with the default OpenSearch configuration. If you’re using the OpenSearch Java high-level REST client with your own OpenSearch cluster, be sure to change the code to use your own credentials.

Elasticsearch OSS Java high-level REST client

We recommend using the OpenSearch client to connect to OpenSearch clusters, but if you must use the Elasticsearch OSS Java high-level REST client, version 7.10.2 of the Elasticsearch OSS client also works with the 1.x versions of OpenSearch.

Migrating to the OpenSearch Java high-level REST client

Migrating from the Elasticsearch OSS client to the OpenSearch high-level REST client is as simple as changing your Maven dependency to one that references OpenSearch's dependency.

Afterward, change all references of org.elasticsearch to org.opensearch, and you're ready to start submitting requests to your OpenSearch cluster.
