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:

```auto
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`:

```auto
<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](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:

```auto
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?

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

Share it on [gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com) if too big.

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
```

</div>

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.

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.

That's because of the transitive dependencies IMO.

Hi Team,

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

```auto
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?

You need to use Spring Data Elasticsearch 4.0.0.RC1.

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

You can look at this sample application for this:

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.
