dependencies conflict error on including elasticsearch dependency - spring

Question

I am developing a spring mvc application where i have included elasticsearch dependencies in order to have some search functionality, which works also when running with tomcat plugin maven goal using mvn tomcat7:run but as i move to deploy on dedicated tomcat server it fails to run and gives some error.
