Spring Data Elastic search in a Spring Boot application

Question

I have a Spring Boot application and I want to use Elastic search 2.2.0 standalone (not the embedded server) in it, I wanna use Spring Data Elastic search, so what are the Elastic search supported versions by Spring Data and how can I configure it to connect to elasticsearch instance running in localhost:9200?

Actually, I tried adding this options to my application.properties file:

spring.data.elasticsearch.repositories.enabled=true
spring.data.elasticsearch.cluster-nodes=localhost:9200

And later, I created this configuration class:

@Configuration
public class ElasticConfig {

    @Bean
    public ElasticsearchOperations elasticsearchTemplate() {
        return new ElasticsearchTemplate(client());
    }

    @Bean
    public Client client() {
        TransportClient client = new TransportClient();
        TransportAddress address = new InetSocketTransportAddress(
                "localhost",9200);
        client.addTransportAddress(address);
        return client;
    }
}

I get this stacktrace:

Answer 1

I got this answer from the ES forum and it worked for me:

First, Spring Data Elasticsearch works officially with ES 1.x versions(for me it worked with 1.7.1). Second, the port used in the configuration must be 9300

I made these changes and it worked pretty perfect.
