// Demo for connecting to Bonsai.io using the Elasticsearch client for Go.
// Make sure to match your Bonsai cluster version to the Go client version.
// Validated using a Bonsai cluster running Elasticsearch 6.2.3.
//
// 1. go get github.com/olivere/elastic
// 2. go build bonsai.go
// 3. ./bonsai
// 4. Program will create an index called `test` on your Bonsai cluster.
//
// Feel free to tweak/clean up as needed, golang isn't my specialty.
