'No handler found for uri [/myindex] and method [POST]' Elasticsearch 5.0.3 with nodejs esclient

I am trying to create an index using the npm package elasticsearch and have been recieving the following error.

'No handler found for uri [/myindex] and method [POST]'

esClient.indices.create({ index: 'myindex' }, function(err, resp, status) { cb(err, resp); });

The following code was working for Elasticsearch 2.3

Here is the tracelog

Elasticsearch DEBUG: 2017-04-03T13:54:24Z
  starting request { method: 'POST', path: '/myindex1', query: {} }


Elasticsearch TRACE: 2017-04-03T13:54:24Z
  -> POST http://localhost:9200/myindex1

  <- 400
  No handler found for uri [/myindex1] and method [POST]

You need to update your JavaScript client as well and instantiate it with the apiVersion parameter set to 5.0

var esClient = new elasticsearch.Client({ 
   host: config.es.host, 
   log: 'error',
   apiVersion: '5.0'
});

The reason for this is that as ES 5.0 it is not possible to create a new index using the POST HTTP method, but only with the PUT method
