So I'm running elasticsearch 6.3.1 under a maven project with no other dependencies than

> ```
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
> <artifactId>transport</artifactId>
> <version>6.3.1</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>junit</groupId>
> <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
> <version>4.12</version>
> </dependency>
> 
> ```

Here are my codes to initiate the client with java api:

```
Settings settings = Settings.builder()
        .put("cluster.name","elasticsearch")
        .build();
TransportClient client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(settings);
client.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddresses.forString("127.0.0.1"), 9300));

```

And with so many tries including manually adding lucene version into dependencies, I am still getting this error:  
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: LUCENE\_5\_2\_1

My codes works perfectly for es5.1.2 and I thought it would be the same to 6.3.1 but it seems to be different more than just the version number.Any suggestions will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Could you run

```
mvn dependency:tree
```

Did you manually add the Lucene core jar in your pom?  
Could you share the full pom?

Yes I manually added the lucene dependencies and it gives the same error with/without that.

Problem solved  
I was using :  
"new InetSocketTransportAddress...." which causes the error because for es 6.3 it has to be replaced by  
"new TransportAddress..."  
Hope this can help people with similar error so they dont struggle hours like I did.  
Still, thanks David.

Great. BTW you should use at least java8 I think.  
And you should move to the rest client instead.
