Hello guys,

I know there is a topic with the same issue but the answer doesn't solve my issue.

I got a really basic spring boot 2.2.0 app which is supposed to connect to a ES 7.2.0.

but when i try to search anything i got the error :

```
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHits.getTotalHits()J
at org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchRestTemplate.doCount(ElasticsearchRestTemplate.java:605) ~[spring-data-elasticsearch-3.2.4.RELEASE.jar:3.2.4.RELEASE]
at org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchRestTemplate.count(ElasticsearchRestTemplate.java:566) ~[spring-data-elasticsearch-3.2.4.RELEASE.jar:3.2.4.RELEASE]

```

I can provide the full stack trace but there is a char limit and i think the dependency is more useful

I got my code here : [https://github.com/SachaMaiornikoff/digger-back/tree/RestHighLevelClient\_and\_bonsai\_impl](https://github.com/SachaMaiornikoff/digger-back/tree/RestHighLevelClient_and_bonsai_impl)

I already forced my ES version on my pom.xml with

\<elasticsearch.version\>7.2.0\</elasticsearch.version\>

and it's basically the only solution that i found on google.

here is the result of my mvn dependency:tree :

```

So i believe the dependencies are set just right.

I'm sure it's something really simple that i'm missing out but i'd be thankful if someone got any clue in which direction i should look.

Thanks,

Just so you don't have to dive into the github project :

here is how i initiate my rest high level client :

```
    @Configuration
@EnableElasticsearchRepositories(basePackages = "com.smaiornikoff.back.game.repository")
public class ElasticsearchConfig extends AbstractElasticsearchConfiguration {

    @Value("${elasticsearch.host}")
    private String EsHost;

    @Value("${elasticsearch.port}")
    private int EsPort;

    @Value("${elasticsearch.clustername}")
    private String EsClusterName;

    @Override
    @Bean
    public RestHighLevelClient elasticsearchClient() {

        URI connUri = URI.create(EsHost);
        String[] auth = connUri.getUserInfo().split(":");

        CredentialsProvider cp = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
        cp.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, new UsernamePasswordCredentials(auth[0], auth[1]));

        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
            RestClient.builder(new HttpHost(connUri.getHost(), connUri.getPort(), connUri.getScheme()))
                .setHttpClientConfigCallback(
                    httpAsyncClientBuilder -> httpAsyncClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(cp)
                        .setKeepAliveStrategy(new DefaultConnectionKeepAliveStrategy())));

        return client;
    }
}

```

this is how i set up the repositories :

```
public interface GameRepository extends CrudRepository<Game, String> {

    List<Game> findByTitle(String title);

}

public abstract class DefaultGameRepository implements GameRepository {

    private RestHighLevelClient tmp;

    ElasticsearchConfig esConfig;

} 

```

and i call the repo with a :

`gameRepository.findAll();`

You are using Spring Data, right?

If you want to use Spring Data and ES 7, you need to upgrade your Spring data version I think.  
Lucky you. The Spring Data team just released a new version. See

I am at the same page here, **spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch:7.5.2** , and **Spring Boot 2.2.2.RELEASE**.

What should I update??
