Hi Experts, I am new to EL. Trying to integrate a middle layer between consumer and ELS7.6.2 using spring boots.
Looks like after several try I am unable to run the spring boots application as the Application context is unable to load the rest client.

Whilst I am trying to integrate with a plain main program all the integration works successfully.

I am actually running out of ideas here as resolving an application context issue has never been so much elaborative.
Please look at the Git URL I have provided and really appreciate any suggestions.

Welcome!
When using springboot with elasticsearch, you need to be explicit with some transitive dependencies as SpringBoot declares a version 6.4...
Basically you can put this in your `pom.xml`:
```auto
7.6.2
```
See documentation here: [https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions)
