Hello I have upgraded elasticsearch version from 2.x to 5.x and using the spring-data-elasticsearch but I am getting error while startup and its throwing exception - Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'elasticsearchTemplate' defined in class path resource [com/search/config/ElasticSearchConfiguration.class]: Post-processing failed of bean type [class org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.ElasticsearchTemplate] failed;

That CountRequestBuilder must be replaced with SearchRequestBuilder but I saw that even latest spring-data-elasticsearch dependency 2.1.1.RELEASE also having CountRequestBuilder in its ElasticSearchTemplate So is there any workaround or when the new version will be released ?
