This is a hard break -- users who specified template in the source would not have seen a deprecation warning about it, since we convert it to index_patterns before sending the REST request to the server. I wasn't sure how to address this, any guidance here would be great.

We can and should add a check to the Deprecation Info API, but that still leaves folks using the OSS distribution lacking a notification.
This comment was based on a misunderstanding, please disregard.

To help clarify my original comment, I am wondering how to warn users of the Java HLRC that they can no longer specify template when using PutIndexTemplateRequest#source. Before this PR we would silently convert it to index_patterns before sending it off to the server.

Could we change the 7.x branch to add a deprecation warning if template was used and remove it in 8.0? That seems reasonable to me (if possible with the HLRC)

@dakrone this is a nice idea, I'll open a follow-up PR against 7.x to emit a deprecation warning if template is used.

…50831) Since 6.0, the 'template' field has been deprecated in put template requests in favour of index_patterns. Previously, the PutIndexTemplateRequest would accept the 'template' field in its 'source' methods and silently convert it to 'index_patterns'. This meant that users specifying 'template' in the source would not receive a deprecation warning from the server. This PR makes a small change to no longer silently convert 'template' to 'index_patterns', which ensures that users receive a deprecation warning. Follow-up to #49460.
The `template` field was deprecated in 6.0 in favor of `index_patterns`, and can now be removed. Relates to elastic#21009.
