Elastic Search with SpringBoot not working

Question

I'm a completely new to elasticsearch, I would like to connect my webapplication developped using Springboot (1.3.1.RELEASE) to a remote elastic search instance installed in a unix VM, so I added the following to my pom.xml

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
</dependency>

And this is the configuration in my application.yml

 spring:
   data:
     elasticsearch:
       host: 192.168.56.101
       port: 9300
       cluster-nodes: 192.168.56.101:9300

but I'm getting the following exception:

Does someone know the reason of this exception?

Looks like an incompatibility with the version installed of ElasticSearch (2.1.1).

Does it mean that I cannot use the latest version of Springboot with the latest version of elastic search? Should I then downgrade my version of elastic search or someone knows any other fix?

In case it helps, this is the document I created:

@Document(indexName = "lng_index",type = "")
public class LanguageDoc {

@Id
private String id;

private String text;

public LanguageDoc() {
}

public LanguageDoc(String id, String text) {
    this.id = id;
    this.text = text;
}

public String getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(String id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public String getText() {
    return text;
}

public void setText(String text) {
    this.text = text;
}
}

My Spring Data repo:

@Repository
public interface LanguageRepository extends   ElasticsearchRepository<LanguageDoc,String> {
}

And the elasticsearch.yml :

# Lock the memory on startup:
#
# bootstrap.mlockall: true
#
# Make sure that the `ES_HEAP_SIZE` environment variable is set to about   half the memory
# available on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to   use this limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -------------------------------  ----
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
#   network.host: 192.168.0.1
network.host: 0.0.0.0
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
# http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, see the documentation at:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules- network.html>

Thank you in advance for any help!!

Answer 1

Another solution would be to use JEST client.

just add dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.searchbox</groupId>
        <artifactId>jest</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.3</version>
    </dependency>

and configure using

spring.elasticsearch.jest.uris=http://192.168.99.100:9200
spring.elasticsearch.jest.read-timeout=5000

Link to documentation

Answer 2

For the record, in case someone else faces the same issue, I have fixed it by downgrading the version of ElasticSearch to 1.5.2 (the same as the in memory instance of elasticSearch that is coming with Sprinboot)
