I use a in house developed java rest client for elasticsearch. Unfortunately it's not in any shape to untangle from our code base and put on Github yet but I might consider that if there's more interest.
Basically I use apache httpclient, I implemented a simple round robin strategy so I can failover if nodes go down, and I implemented a simple rest client around this to support put/post/delete/get requests. Also added some basic interpretation of statuses and have mapped those to sensible exceptions. The idea is that this client is wrapped with another client that supports more high level APIs that are exposed from elasticsearch. So you can do things like index/delete documents, manage aliases, do bulk indexing etc. My long term goal was actually to have two implementations of that client one for REST and one for embedded elasticsearch. That would be an interesting project because it would give you choice. Except, I never got around to doing the embedded client implementation since we don't really need it so far. Something else that we use is to model the query DSL using static java methods and provides a simple DSL for creating queries in Java. This in turn uses my github jsonj project that allows you to programmatically manipulate json structures. None of this is particularly complicated but altogether there is quite a bit of code to write and quite a few things you can get wrong. It's always hard to separate the general purpose stuff from the application specific stuff and thats one reason why I have not yet put this code out.
