Upgrading elastic search in spring boot

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

I need to use ES 6.7.1 in myproject project, but it is using 6.4.3 only.

My project hierarchy:

root
  +-services
     +-datamanagement
     +-myproject

Contents of the file are:

I think it's a maven question and not an elasticsearch one.

IMHO you should not declare individually all dependencies to all elasticsearch jars but just:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
	<artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
	<version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
</dependency>

Also define this dependency in the dependencyManagement section of your root artifact.

I understand it's not exactly a elastisearch question. Thanks for the help.

Just to understand, why does the current approach not work? I do mention ES version in my datamanagement and use it as a dependency in my actual project.

But the myproject still uses 6.4.3.

4

Did you try what I said?

I think it's related to how maven resolves dependencies.

5

Yes !!
I had to add these 3 dependencies in dependency management of parent(root artifact) to make it work.

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
	<artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
	<version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-client</artifactId>
    <version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
    <version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
</dependency>

Removing any one of them does not work.

It worked, but I still want to understand why adding dependencies in my datamanagement did not work.
Based on how maven resolves dependencies, this should have worked.

7

That's not what I think. I don't think maven resolves the way you think.
But it's a question for maven user group.

Thanks for helping out. The solution works. I'll look into this to clarify my doubts.
