Spring Data Rest incompatible with Spring Data Neo4J? - spring

Question

I'm trying to incorporate Spring Data Rest into an application that is using Spring Data Neo4J. I get the following exception on start when I include Spring Data Rest into my application:
18:41:10.632 [main] INFO o.h.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaUpdate - HHH000232: Schema update complete

Here's my dependency list:

testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
testCompile "org.spockframework:spock-core:0.7-groovy-2.0"
}
The application runs as expected if I comment out compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-rest").
Is there a version mismatch perhaps?
