My build.gradle:

```auto
dependencies {
    compile('org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.2.2')
    compile('org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:5.2.2')
}

```

And like the tutorial, I create my transport client like this:

```auto
Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "es").build();
TransportClient client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(settings).addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName("http://10.19.132.207"), 9300));

```

When I run the code. It has error like:

```auto

You need to solve it on Spring side.  
This version of Spring calls a 2.x method.
