Any documentation/tutorial available?

Hi,
Is there a tutorial for dropwizard-elasticsearch usage? I can't find anything in documentation regarding setup and real usage.
For example, how to use the EsConfiguration class, how to name the .yml file for es conf, and how to run and use the ElasticSearch API throughout the Dropwizard application.

Moreover, when I try to register the ManagedEsClient, I got into the error "cannot find symbol : method lifecycle()":

env.lifecycle().manage(managedClient);

Should I configure or enable something in my drop wizard application?

Thanks,

dropwizard-elasticsearch is only a very thin layer around the vanilla Elasticsearch client. It basically enables binding the lifecycle of the Elasticsearch Client instance to the lifecycle of your Dropwizard application and provides a simple health check.

There isn't much more to it than adding EsConfiguration to the configuration class of your application and optionally add the provided health check as described in https://github.com/dropwizard/dropwizard-elasticsearch#usage

Moreover, when I try to register the ManagedEsClient, I got into the error "cannot find symbol : method lifecycle()":

env.lifecycle().manage(managedClient);

Could you please post the complete error message including all stack traces?
