Hi,

I am creating the connection of elastic search 6.4.1 with my spring boot application with help of transportclient but there are stack of exception coming :-

Failed to instantiate [org.elasticsearch.client.Client]: Factory method 'client' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: NamedWriteable [org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilder][parent\_id] is already registered for [org.elasticsearch.search.SearchModule$$Lambda$756/688426301], cannot register [org.elasticsearch.join.ParentJoinPlugin$$Lambda$766/1660136848]

can you share some code please, how you are instantiating the transport client? That might be a bug...

I am sharing my snapshot of pom file :-

I am using 2.0.0.M3 version of spring-boot-starter-parent and this is giving error but when I used 2.0.5 version of spring boot it works fine

 org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-parent 2.0.0.M3 org.springframework.data spring-data-elasticsearch 3.0.10.RELEASE 

```
