Spring Data ElasticSearch Can't Connect with ElasticSearch 5.5.0 - elasticsearch

Question

Am new to ElasticSearch...
Really love the API (especially ElasticsearchTemplate & supporting Unit Tests)...
Was following this example using ElasticSearch 5.5.0 (the following link has the full code inline and also available as a downloadable zip file):
https://www.mkyong.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-spring-data-elasticsearch-example/
maven dependencies:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<properties>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
EsConfig:
#Configuration
#EnableElasticsearchRepositories(basePackages = "com.mkyong.book.repository")
public class EsConfig {
#Value("${elasticsearch.host}")
private String EsHost;
#Value("${elasticsearch.port}")
private int EsPort;
#Value("${elasticsearch.clustername}")
private String EsClusterName;
#Bean
public Client client() throws Exception {
Settings esSettings = Settings.settingsBuilder()
.put("cluster.name", EsClusterName)
.build();
//https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_transport_client_versus_node_client.html
return TransportClient.builder()
.settings(esSettings)
.build()
.addTransportAddress(
new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName(EsHost), EsPort));
}
#Bean
public ElasticsearchOperations elasticsearchTemplate() throws Exception {
return new ElasticsearchTemplate(client());
}
}
src/main/resources:
elasticsearch.clustername = mkyong-cluster
elasticsearch.host = localhost
elasticsearch.port = 9300
When issuing the following, either:
mvn spring-boot:run
or
mvn clean test
stdout:
Caused by: NoNodeAvailableException[None of the configured nodes are available: [{#transport#-1}{127.0.0.1}{127.0.0.1:9300}]]
at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClientNodesService.ensureNodesAreAvailable(TransportClientNodesService.java:326)
at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClientNodesService.execute(TransportClientNodesService.java:223)
at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.support.TransportProxyClient.execute(TransportProxyClient.java:55)
Also, get the following in my ElasticSearch 5.5.0 engine's stdout:
[2017-07-23T02:48:46,135][WARN ][o.e.t.n.Netty4Transport ] [vY7jxpr] exception caught on transport layer [[id: 0xa7e950be, L:/127.0.0.1:9300 - R:/127.0.0.1:60190]], closing connection
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Received message from unsupported version: [1.0.0] minimal compatible version is: [5.0.0]
at org.elasticsearch.transport.TcpTransport.messageReceived(TcpTransport.java:1379) ~[elasticsearch-5.5.0.jar:5.5.0]
at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.Netty4MessageChannelHandler.channelRead(Netty4MessageChannelHandler.java:74) ~[transport-netty4-5.5.0.jar:5.5.0]
Is there any way to use Spring Data ElasticSearch with ElasticSearch 5.5.0 engine?
If so, how would the connection be implemented?
I am using the Elastic Search Java client provided by Elastic Search and am able to connect and create indices on ElasticSearch 5.5.0 but really wish I could use the power of this library.

Spring Boot 1.5.1 does not support ElasticSearch 5.x (the article you provided also says it). To make it possible to work with ElasticSearch 5.x you need to use a milestone of Spring Boot 2.
Try to configure your project with following dependencies:
# spring boot
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot:2.0.0.M2'
# elasticsearch
compile 'org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:5.5.0'
compile 'org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.5.0'
# spring-data-elasticsearch for spring boot
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch:2.0.0.M2'
This should allow you to use all the goodies of Elasticsearch Java API ans spring-data-elasticsearch.
Update: Basic Gradle (v4.0.1) configuration would look like (build.gradle file):
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '2.0.0.M2'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot' }
maven { url 'http://repo.spring.io/milestone/' }
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
apply plugin: 'java-library'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
jar {
baseName = 'elastic'
version = '0.0.1'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot' }
maven { url 'http://repo.spring.io/milestone/' }
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-logging'
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch'
compile 'org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:5.4.1'
compile 'org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.4.1'
compile 'com.google.guava:guava:20.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
