通过弹簧数据使用Elasticsearch 2.4的弹簧靴2

Question

I have a spring boot 1.5.9 application that connects to an elasticsearch 2.4.0 instance using spring-data-elasticsearch (2.1.3). Now I need to upgrade spring boot to version 2 to make it work with a new dependency.

If I take the latest spring boot version (2.1.0), it comes with spring-data-elasticsearch 3.1.2 which uses elasticsearch 6.4.2. But according to https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-elasticsearch I should use spring-data-elasticsearch 2.1.x so I specified the versions as follows:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.3.RELEASE</version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
      <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
  <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
  <version>2.4.6</version>
</dependency>

But now I get the following error

where the partSearchRepository is defined as:

public interface PartSearchRepository extends ElasticsearchRepository<Part, Long> {
}

From this I gather that spring-data-elasticsearch (see ElasticsearchRepositoryFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet() ) doesn't work well with the newer spring-data-commons.

Is there a way to use spring boot 2 with elasticsearch 2.4 then?

Answer 1

Spring Boot 2.1, requires Spring 5.1 . The Spring Data ElasticSearch version you are using is bound to Spring 4, so that is not going to work.

The short answer thus is no you cannot.
