Should we close RestHighLevelClient (6.2) on every search request ES(6.2)?

Question

We have scenario, where we do search very frequently. We are using RestHighLevelClient (6.2).

Is it required to close the RestHighLevelClient after every search response?

if yes, is there any performance impact on initializing the client on every request .

Does this help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46166955/how-to-properly-close-raw-restclient-when-using-elastic-search-5-5-0-for-optimal/46236617#46236617 ? — Val, Apr 19 '18 at 09:42
