Hi guys, I am running 1.7.2 elasticsearch server and i'm using org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-groovy:1.7.2 client to connect on it using TransportClient. elasticsearch-groovy come with elasticseach 1.7.2 and lucene 4.10.4 dependecy. When the TransportClient object is initialized the following error is thrown "java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: LUCENE\_3\_6". I couldn't find solution for this and currently i'm stuck. I would be very thankful for any hint. This is my code: ``` ImmutableSettings.Builder builder = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder() builder.put("cluster.name", CLUSTER_NAME).put("client.transport.sniff", true) Settings settings = builder.build() client = new TransportClient(settings) client.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("127.0.0.1", 9300)) IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest(tenant,table,id) indexRequest.source(putJsonDocument(documentTitle,description, documentContent, postDate, author)) client.index(indexRequest) ``` Thanks in advanced! ---

Do you have any other Lucene jars in your classpath? Are you using Maven/Ivy for dependency management, and if so, does anything else require Lucene? Ivan ---

Hi Ivan, I don't have any others lucene jars on classpath, and i could make it work with version 0.20.6, but i don't want use this old version. With elasticsearch 1.7.2 my problem still persists. For dependency i use gradle, and everyting is stored on my .m2 local repository. ---

That's strange. I looked at the Lucene 4.10.4 jar and Version.LUCENE\_3\_6 exists there. It's deprecated though. So this should work. Could you share the full stack trace? Could you double check that your project has been cleaned when you rebuild it with elasticsearch 1.7.2? ---

Did you add lucene jars to your project as well? Can you see `lucene-core-4.10.4.jar` in your classpath? May be gradle is not configured as it should be? (not a gradle user here). ---

Here are all the lucene jars downloaded in my .m2 repository by gradle ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/46637b2ef3ab79cb2eeb3bfe6b9cc292723d3e8c.png) In the folder lucene-core i have others two folders 4.5.1 and 4.10.4, no jar found in 4.10.4, just in 4.5.1 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/9/9157f703c6f66d700abd87e9fe3319961d949180.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/f/ff393126170f94b44db83ef61632debfabe9f862.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/d/d2f71e8a994508ce27c6b80dd6ed7e17e4459dbb.png) ---

So your build is incorrect. If Gradle did not download needed jars, it means you have to fix that. ---

Hi David, Problem solved! Because of unknown reasons gradle mixed jar versions of lucene. Where gradle couldn't find/download version of 4.10.4 of lucene, version 4.5.1 were downloaded, The solution was to add also lucene in my dependecies even elasticsearcg-groovy dependency depends on lucene 4.10.4. compile('org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-groovy:1.7.2') compile ('org.apache.lucene:lucene-core:4.10.4') Thanks! ---
