Hello, I'm trying to upgrade my ElasticSearch from 2.3.4 to 5.6.12. In order to create my Client, due to this upgrade, I use now the PreBuiltTransportClient instead of the TransportClient. During the runtime I get the following exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.netty.util.internal.ObjectUtil.checkPositive(ILjava/lang/String;)I"} io.netty.util.NettyRuntime$AvailableProcessorsHolder.setAvailableProcessors(NettyRuntime.java:44)"} io.netty.util.NettyRuntime.setAvailableProcessors(NettyRuntime.java:87)"} org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.Netty4Utils.setAvailableProcessors(Netty4Utils.java:85)"} org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.Netty4Transport.(Netty4Transport.java:140)"} org.elasticsearch.transport.Netty4Plugin.lambda$getTransports$0(Netty4Plugin.java:93)"} org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient.buildTemplate(TransportClient.java:177)"} org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient.(TransportClient.java:268)"} org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient.(PreBuiltTransportClient.java:133)"} org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient.(PreBuiltTransportClient.java:119)"} org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient.(PreBuiltTransportClient.java:109)"} I added in my pom.xml file the dependency for netty 4.1.13 which has the missing method but with no luck: io.netty netty-all 4.1.13.Final Could you please help me on this? ---

is it possible, that you still have an older netty version in your list of dependencies that gets loaded? ---

I added exlusion for netty in every depedency that gets loaded in my pom.xml file. This should be enough. Correct? The problem was not fixed. I also added "System.setProperty("es.set.netty.runtime.available.processors", "false");" before I initialize my Client and now I get in the runtime the following exception: :"Exception in thread "elasticsearch[_client_][management][T#1]" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.netty.buffer.CompositeByteBuf.addComponents(ZLjava/lang/Iterable;)Lio/netty/buffer/CompositeByteBuf;"} ---

which netty version do you see when running `mvn dependency:tree`? ---

there seem to be two transport client dependencies, one for netty3 and one for netty4 ```auto org.elasticsearch.plugin:transport-netty3-client org.elasticsearch.plugin:transport-netty4-client ``` can you only use the netty4 one? ---

Thanks for the answer. Could you please let me know how to do it? The only thing I do regarding the transport client dependency is to add the following in the pom.xml file: "\< dependency\> \< groupId\>org.elasticsearch.client \< artifactId\>transport \< version\>5.6.12 \< exclusions\> io.netty netty-all \< /exclusion\> \< /exclusions\> \< /dependency\>" How can I exclude the netty3? I have also found the folowing. Seems a similar issue: > [@Netty dependency issue with ElasticSearch 5.4](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/netty-dependency-issue-with-elasticsearch-5-4/89120/5): > > This is not a problem, Netty 3 and Netty 4 use completely different package names so there is no possibility of conflict. ---
