==== Accessing the client from a collector's `fetch` method

At the moment, the `fetch` method's context receives preconfigured
<<scoped-services, scoped clients>> for Elasticsearch and SavedObjects.
To help in the transition, both, the legacy (`callCluster`) and new clients are provided,
but we strongly discourage using the deprecated legacy ones for any new implementation.

[source,typescript]
----
usageCollection.makeUsageCollector<MyUsage>({
type: 'my-collector',
isReady: async () => true, // Logic to confirm the `fetch` method is ready to be called
schema: {...},
async fetch(context) {
const { callCluster, esClient, soClient } = context;

// Before:
const result = callCluster('search', options)

// After:
const { body: result } = esClient.search(options);

return result;
}
});
----

Regarding the `soClient`, it is encouraged to use it instead of the plugin's owned SavedObject's repository
as we used to do in the past.

Before:

[source,typescript]
----
function getUsageCollector(
usageCollection: UsageCollectionSetup,
getSavedObjectsRepository: () => ISavedObjectsRepository | undefined
) {
usageCollection.makeUsageCollector<MyUsage>({
type: 'my-collector',
isReady: () => typeof getSavedObjectsRepository() !== 'undefined',
schema: {...},
async fetch() {
const savedObjectsRepository = getSavedObjectsRepository();

const { attributes: result } = await savedObjectsRepository.get('my-so-type', 'my-so-id');

return result;
}
});
}
----

After:

[source,typescript]
----
function getUsageCollector(usageCollection: UsageCollectionSetup) {
usageCollection.makeUsageCollector<MyUsage>({
type: 'my-collector',
isReady: () => true,
schema: {...},
async fetch({ soClient }) {
const { attributes: result } = await soClient.get('my-so-type', 'my-so-id');

return result;
}
});
}
