Execute raw query / filter

[abeninski]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to be able to execute range queries and I noticed this issues #7050 so I tried to find how to execute raw query but, I don't see a way to do it in v8.

Describe the solution you'd like
Can you please add the ability to add raw query / filter like it used to be in previous version so we can easily go around problems like that?

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative so far is to fork the repository.

I was looking for snapshot calls on new 8.x version and I don't find a way to use low level API. Any advice?

[meriturva]

I think we have to use Transport:

elasticsearch-net/src/Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch/Client/ElasticsearchClient.cs

Line 83 in 4ff277e

public HttpTransport Transport => _transport;

@abeninski Thanks for your feedback. I have a PR in to implement this fallback option.

@meriturva It's best to ask questions on discuss.elastic.co and not an unrelated issue, as they may be missed. You are correct; there is no specific low-level client, and using Transport directly is the correct option if you want to send raw JSON requests and responses to a cluster.
