java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.query.Query

Question

I have below dependencies in the child POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.test</groupId>
    <artifactId>test-elastic</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
            <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

I have below dependencies in the parent POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.2</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.8.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I'm getting the above exception at calling of build() method in below code:

final AbstractAggregationBuilder aggregation =
        new MaxBuilder(ElasticConstant.Aggregation.MAX_DATE).field(ElasticConstant.Path.DATA
                + "." + DataChangeFilterType.APPROVAL_DATE.getBackEndMapping());

final AbstractAggregationBuilder aggregation2 =
        new MinBuilder(ElasticConstant.Aggregation.MIN_DATE).field(ElasticConstant.Path.DATA
                + "." + DataChangeFilterType.APPROVAL_DATE.getBackEndMapping());
                
final AbstractAggregationBuilder aggregationBuilder = new NestedBuilder(ElasticConstant.Aggregation.DATES).path(ElasticConstant.Path.DATA).subAggregation(aggregation2).subAggregation(aggregation);

query = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder()
        .withIndices(this.mappingInfo.alias(organizationId))
        .withTypes(this.mappingInfo.objectType())
        .addAggregation(aggregationBuilder).withQuery(matchAllQuery())
        .build();

I get this java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error:

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Answer 1

Elasticsearch 1.5.2 was released on April 27, 2015, Spring Data Elasticsearch 1.3.5 on September 20, 2016 and Spring Boot 1.3.8 on September 21 2016. None of these is in active support anymore.

You should update your dependencies to an actual version and see if this error persists.
