Perfect, if you already have an authentication solution and know how to work it with the Java API, you're good to go.
Take a look at the open() method in ElasticIndexWriter, that's where the client gets built. I'd recommend adding any authentication-related configuration options in the ElasticConstants class. Then, you can place authentication-related configuration in the elasticsearch.conf file so that you don't need to rebuild the project if your authentication credentials change.
