== transport.request
It can happen that you need to communicate with {es} by using an API that is not
supported by the client, to mitigate this issue you can directly call
`client.transport.request`, which is the internal utility that the client uses
to communicate with {es} when you use an API method.
NOTE: When using the `transport.request` method you must provide all the
parameters needed to perform an HTTP call, such as `method`, `path`,
`querystring`, and `body`.
TIP: If you find yourself use this method too often, take in consideration the
use of `client.extend`, which will make your code look cleaner and easier to
maintain.
