Method	Description
org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContent.createParser(NamedXContentRegistry, DeprecationHandler, InputStream)	Use XContent.createParser(XContentParserConfiguration, InputStream)
org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContent.detectContent(byte[], int, int)
org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContent.detectContent(CharSequence)
org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentBuilder.rawField(String, InputStream)	use XContentBuilder.rawField(String, InputStream, XContentType) to avoid content type auto-detection
org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentFactory.xContent(byte[])	the content type should not be guessed except for few cases where we effectively don't know the content type. The REST layer should move to reading the Content-Type header instead. There are other places where auto-detection may be needed. This method is deprecated to prevent usages of it from spreading further without specific reasons.
org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentFactory.xContent(byte[], int, int)	guessing the content type should not be needed ideally. We should rather know the content type upfront or read it from headers. Till we fixed the REST layer to read the Content-Type header, that should be the only place where guessing is needed.
org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentFactory.xContent(CharSequence)	the content type should not be guessed except for few cases where we effectively don't know the content type.
