Hi,
I am upgrading from ES version 2.x to 6.4.2 and am getting this error while server startup. I am using spring boot version 2.0.5 and have included the 6.4.2 version of ES libraries.
```
Settings settings = Settings.builder()
.put("transport.ping_schedule", "5s")
.put("cluster.name", clusterId)
.put("request.headers.X-Found-Cluster", clusterId)
.put("xpack.security.user", userPass)
.build();
return new PreBuiltXPackTransportClient(settings)
.addTransportAddress(new TransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName(hostname), port));
```
Here is the detailed message:
```
WARN 3714 --- [main] ConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext : Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'myIncidentsService': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'customerIncidentRepository'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'customerIncidentRepository': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'elasticsearchTemplate' while setting bean property 'elasticsearchOperations'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'elasticsearchTemplate' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/data/elasticsearch/ElasticsearchDataAutoConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'elasticsearchTemplate' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'client' defined in class path resource [com/gmp/bootes/elasticsearch/config/ElasticSearchConfig.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.elasticsearch.client.Client]: Factory method 'client' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings$Builder.put([Ljava/lang/Object;)Lorg/elasticsearch/common/settings/Settings$Builder;
```
Any ideas? Happy to provide more information if required.
Thank you !

The `Settings.Builder.put(Object ... settings)` method was removed in Elasticsearch 6.1.0
Something in your app is trying to call it, but it doesn't exist anymore.
My best guess is that you have a mix of different versions of ES jars in your application, but it's hard to diagnose anything from a spring error like that.

This method
```
public Settings.Builder put(Settings settings) {
return this.put(settings, true);
}
```
seems to be present in
`org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings` class in the elasticsearch-6.4.2.jar ?
Am I missing something?
Thank you!!

A more basic question being, do you know if Elasticsearch 6.4.2 will work with the latest (or any) version of Spring Boot ?
Thank you again !!

Yes, this method exists
```auto
public Settings.Builder put(Settings settings)
```
but the signature in your error is:
```auto
org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings$Builder
.put(
[Ljava/lang/Object;
)
Lorg/elasticsearch/common/settings/Settings$Builder;
```
which is
```auto
public Settings.Builder put(Object ... settings)
```
And that method was removed in 6.1.0
The procedure for demangling the signature is:
- The first part is the class that contains the method
- Followed by a '.'
- Then the name of the method
- Then the arguments in brackets
- Then the return type
For the return type & argument types,
- `[` indicates an array
- `L` indicates a class, with the class name immediately following terminated with ';'
- Class names use '/' rather than '.' for their hierarchy.
So `[Ljava/lang/Object;` is `java.lang.Object[]`

I cannot see why it wouldn't be.
Have you actually checked whether you have consistent versions of the ES jars on your classpath?
