null value in SearchResponse.hits.hits.sort causes parsing failure

[swallez]

From https://discuss.elastic.co/t/failure-with-sorts-and-new-co-elastic-clients-elasticsearch-java-client/291511/8

When a request is sorted on fields that may have null values, the responses's hits.hits.sort array will contain null values that cause a parsing failure as arrays generally don't accept null values in the API spec.

This is related to elastic/elasticsearch-specification#1109 and will be solved once sort is considered as an opaque JSON blob.

Hi @swallez

I encounter this problem in 7.17.6, it seems its not fix yet? or a degrade?
Please see https://discuss.elastic.co/t/new-elasticsearch-client-search-response-cannot-be-serialized-because-of-null-value-on-sort-fields/315326/6

Is there an update on this? Is this fixed ?
