Upgraded standalone elasticsearch software from v2.1.0 to v5.2.2  
can any one share solution for the below issue?

Exception in thread "elasticsearch[_client_][management][T#1]" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.netty.buffer.CompositeByteBuf.addComponents(ZLjava/lang/Iterable;)Lio/netty/buffer/CompositeByteBuf;

I think that you have a dependency mismatch, are you sure that you pulled everything in correctly? You should see Netty 4.1.7 dependencies on your classpath, anything else is wrong.

You should use `org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.2.2` instead of `org.elasticsearch.plugin:transport-netty4-client:5.2.2`. It's easier to use, and includes the dependencies that you need (as long as you're pulling in transitive dependencies).

i have used org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.2.2 API and errors got resolved.  
But new issue was observed.  
i.e. i am using spark 1.5.1 dependency API to insert data into elasticsearch v5.2.2.  
netty version mismatch was observed [w.r.to](http://w.r.to) spark & elasticsearch  
excluded netty all 4.x package and issue got resolved.
