Using the Java programming language the following are the ways by which Elasticsearch can be communicated.
- Transport Client: Used by REST clients internally. Full support from Elasticsearch as these are used by Elasticsearch internally to achieve various tasks. The most efficient methodology for communication and is quite fast. It uses a binary protocol for communication, the same protocol Elasticsearch uses internally.
