Basically I get an NPE when starting up Play. Looks like the Netty 4.1 is colliding with Netty 4.0 in Play 2.5

Anyone else seen this? Know a good way around this?

I'm looking at maybe using [https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi](https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi) which uses dispatch/REST, and doesn't collide with Play, but would prefer to stay with Elastic4s (which piggy backs off the Java TCP client)

Thanks.

Ah, wabisabi doesn't support 5.x.

e.g. putMapping has ignore\_conflicts which isn't in 5.x
