FWIW I'd use spring data elasticsearch beta 4 which has been updated to elasticsearch 7 and uses the rest client.

Here most likely the TransportClient (deprecated) can not connect to elasticsearch on port 9400 or the cluster name is different.

@dadoonet is likely correct. It may be a mismatch between your Spring Data elasticsearch library and the elasticsearch cluster.

The latest version 3 Spring Data Elasticsearch only supports upto Elasticsearch v6.8.1. And your locally installed elasticsearch is v7.5.2. So depending on the library version you use, they may not be able to communicate. This reminds me the initial error you posted:

> "Received handshake message from unsupported version: [5.0.0] minimal compatible version is: [6.8.0]"

So the above error was probably not from another node, but triggered by your Spring data application.

Correctly you have said i have remove elasticsearch v7.5.2 and install elasticsearch v5 its work fine.

Again Thanks for your support
