@costin I was not sure what to put in here, but now looks like I need these files for jtoml dependency verification task in EQL QA project.
let me know.

If the library doesn't have a NOTICE file, then I don't think you need to add one.

The build requires this file, at least an empty one :-) Can remove the content.

Simply add the license from the jar - no need to modify it to add copyright or something else.

jar has only this blob in pom.xml
<licenses> <license> <name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name> <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url> <distribution>repo</distribution> </license> </licenses>
should I just copy the http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt content instead there?

Updated the jtoml-LICENSE file with the license content. Removed the NOTICE file content, but the file needs to be present to pass all the thridparty deps validations here.

Why synchronized?

The client in the ESRestTestCase base class is created on @before, so this is done in order to get the initialized client but still synchronize the setup and do it once in case the tests are run in parallel.

You could use the approach used in SQL:

And wipe the data in a @AfterClass. Note that you could do the loading inside @BeforeClass as well if there are no modifications to the index at all.

The client from the base class only available on after @before hook. Unless I hack around that, the safest bet is to initialize on @before and since I need to initialize it once that's why synchronizing on the class
