Thanks for the question @tomimarkus991. I think the issue here is that the code example was a bit confusing, as result is the value that should be operated on, not body. The return value of an API request is itself a ReadableStream when asStream is enabled. Unless you are also passing meta: true, in which case the response will be an object whose body property is a ReadableStream.

I updated the code example in #2242 to make that more clear. I was able to run the updated code snippet verbatim against a local 8.13.0 Elasticsearch instance and it worked perfectly.
