Launch ElasticSearch 6.4.3 with Spring Boot 2.0.3 - Error creating bean

Question

I tried almost everything, I see for each minor version change a complex matrix of dependencies must be respected and I think I am almost there. But Spring doesn't Boot with the error: Error creating bean with name 'articleRepository' Which shouldn't be created at this point because I'm just trying to launch the app, not instantiating anything.

    @Query("{\"bool\": {\"must\": [{\"match\": {\"authors.name\": \"?0\"}}]}}")

    @Query("{\"bool\": {\"must\": {\"match_all\": {}}, \"filter\": {\"term\": {\"tags\": \"?0\" }}}}")

    Page<Article> findByAuthorsNameAndFilteredTagQuery(String name, String tag, Pageable pageable);
}

Is there any step by step, version by version guide to start this ElasticSearch with SpringBoot?

Can you help me to figure out what's wrong?

Answer 1

The Spring Data Lovelace release train supports Elasticsearch 6.4. It’s used by Spring Boot 2.1 by default.

Your simplest option is to upgrade to Spring Boot 2.1 and use the versions provided by its dependency management.
