Error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHits.getTotalHits()

ajnfde3 · April 5, 2020, 7:57pm

Hello guys, I know this topic has already been opened but I couldn't see any solution. I am using spring boot 2.2.6 with ES 7.6.2, spring data commons 2.2.6.

I defined my repository like this:

public interface CollaboratorRepository extends ElasticsearchRepository<Collaborator, String> {
	
}

In my CollaboratorService, I call collaboratorRepository.findAll().

I get
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHits.getTotalHits()J
at org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchRestTemplate.doCount(ElasticsearchRestTemplate.java:628) ~[spring-data-elasticsearch-3.2.6.RELEASE.jar:3.2.6.RELEASE]

Has someone an idea of the error origin ?

Welcome!

When using springboot with elasticsearch, you need to be explicit with some transitive dependencies as SpringBoot declares a version 6.4...

Basically you can put this in your pom.xml:

<properties>
  <elasticsearch.version>7.6.2<elasticsearch.version>
</properties>

See documentation here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions

Thank you @dadoonet.

But I am using gradle and in my build.gradle, I declare the dependencies like this:

ext {
	springBootVersion = '2.2.6.RELEASE',
	elasticSearchVersion = '7.6.2'
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter:${springBootVersion}"
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:${springBootVersion}"
    compile "org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons:${springBootVersion}"
    compile "org.springframework.data:spring-data-elasticsearch:3.2.6.RELEASE"
    compile "org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:${elasticSearchVersion}"
    compile "org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-client:${elasticSearchVersion}"
	compile "org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:${elasticSearchVersion}"
    implementation "io.springfox:springfox-swagger2:2.8.0"
    implementation "io.springfox:springfox-swagger-ui:2.8.0"
    implementation "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api"
    implementation "org.projectlombok:lombok"
    testImplementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test:${springBootVersion}"
    testCompile "junit:junit:4.12"
}

Is there a way to get the dependency tree in Gradle?

ajnfde3 · April 7, 2020, 4:32pm

Of course @dadoonet but the dependency tree is very verbose.

dadoonet · April 7, 2020, 5:14pm

Share it on gist.github.com if too big.

ajnfde3 · April 7, 2020, 5:28pm

dadoonet · April 7, 2020, 6:21pm

I think that the way you wrote Elasticsearch version is wrong. May be it should be elasticsearchVersion and not elasticSearchVersion.

Look at this:

 org.elasticsearch.client:transport:6.8.7

ajnfde3 · April 8, 2020, 5:02pm

According to the dependency tree, the transport jar is brought by spring-data-elasticsearch.

So I have updated my build.gradle by asking gradle to not include transport jar when it imports spring-data-elasticsearch. And I have declared clearly org.elasticsearch.client:transport:7.6.2

The issue always appears.

ajnfde3 · April 8, 2020, 5:04pm

Here the dependencies declarations

dependencies {
    compile "org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:7.6.2"
    compile "org.elasticsearch.client:transport:7.6.2"
    implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter:2.2.6.RELEASE"
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:2.2.6.RELEASE"
    compile "org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons:2.2.6.RELEASE"
    compile ("org.springframework.data:spring-data-elasticsearch:3.2.6.RELEASE"){
      exclude group: 'org.elasticsearch.client', module: 'transport'
      exclude group: 'org.elasticsearch.client', module: 'elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client'
    }
    compile "org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:7.6.2"
    compile "org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-client:7.6.2"
    implementation "io.springfox:springfox-swagger2:2.8.0"
    implementation "io.springfox:springfox-swagger-ui:2.8.0"
    implementation "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api"
    implementation "org.projectlombok:lombok"
    testImplementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test:2.2.6.RELEASE"
    testCompile "junit:junit:4.12"
}

dadoonet · April 9, 2020, 1:49am

Did you check the dependency tree again?

Serkan_Akdemir · April 9, 2020, 12:25pm

I had similar issue with "7.6.2". "spring-data-elasticsearch 3.2.6.RELEASE" expects "long" value but ES returns getTotalHits as "TotalHits" type inside "ElasticsearchRestTemplate" class.

dadoonet · April 9, 2020, 2:11pm

That's because of the transitive dependencies IMO.

ajnfde3 · April 11, 2020, 2:58pm

@Serkan_Akdemir what do you recommand ?

Hi Team,

I do have the same issue, with the same with 3.2.6 and 7.6.1versions:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHits.getTotalHits()J
	at org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchRestTemplate.doCount(ElasticsearchRestTemplate.java:606) ~[spring-data-elasticsearch-3.2.6.RELEASE.jar:3.2.6.RELEASE]

Did anyone find a solution to it?

dadoonet · April 12, 2020, 4:04am

You need to use Spring Data Elasticsearch 4.0.0.RC1.

https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/elasticsearch/docs/4.0.0.RC1/reference/html/#reference

Serkan_Akdemir · April 12, 2020, 12:16pm

As @dadoonet mentioned, either use 4.0.0.RC1or use direct elasticsearch java api instead of Spring-data-es.

dadoonet · April 12, 2020, 12:38pm

You can look at this sample application for this:

ajnfde3 · April 25, 2020, 10:13am

Thank you @dadoonet and @Serkan_Akdemir. I will try your solutions. Definitely I think there is a mistake either in the spring-data-elasticsearch 3.2.6.release version, either in the elasticsearch 7.6.2 version.

In spring-data-elasticsearch 3.2.6.release version, the method doCount of ElasticsearchRestTemplate class has to return a long value but it returns response.getHits().getTotalHits() which refers to SearchHits class getTotalHits() method which return TotalHits object.
