I am using elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client 6.4.2 and I am facing this error.  
The error comes from the following piece of code in RequestConverters class.  
\< if (searchRequest.allowPartialSearchResults() != null) {  
 params.putParam("allow\_partial\_search\_results", Boolean.toString(searchRequest.allowPartialSearchResults()));  
}/\>

It looks like to me that you have 2 versions in the class path (6.x and 5.x) which is causing this problem.
