Gradle&Springboot引入ES低版本的问题

之前在做项目的时候需要在 SpringBoot中引入 ElasticSearch，但是由于服务器版本较低，最新版 ES 是6.x.x，而我需要的是5.1.1（org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.1.1）。当我引入5.1.1的版本包的时候，org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.1.1中依赖的org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch自动升级成了6.x.x。 折腾搜索了一天，终于找到了原因。在这里记录一下整个排查流程。

一开始在启动SpringBoot时，会抛出 ElasticSearch 有某个类/某个方法未找到的异常，因此怀疑是引入的包版本不正确。

使用 gradle -q dependencies指令，输出如下

可以看到transport下所依赖的部分包自动升级成了6.4.3。但是在gradle中并没有设置什么。 因此继续使用gradlew -q dependencyInsight --dependency elasticsearch --info查看 elasticsearch的具体依赖：

org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.4.3 (selected by rule)
variant "runtime" [
org.gradle.status = release (not requested)
Requested attributes not found in the selected variant:
org.gradle.usage = java-api
]
org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:5.1.1 -> 6.4.3
\--- org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.1.1
\--- compileClasspath
org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-cli:6.4.3
variant "runtime" [
org.gradle.status = release (not requested)
Requested attributes not found in the selected variant:
org.gradle.usage = java-api
]
org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-cli:6.4.3
\--- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.4.3
\--- org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.1.1
\--- compileClasspath
org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-core:6.4.3
variant "runtime" [
org.gradle.status = release (not requested)
Requested attributes not found in the selected variant:
org.gradle.usage = java-api
]
org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-core:6.4.3
+--- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.4.3
| \--- org.elasticsearch.client:transport:5.1.1
| \--- compileClasspath
+--- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-cli:6.4.3
| \--- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.4.3 (*)
\--- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch-x-content:6.4.3
\--- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.4.3 (*)


发现了前两项直接使用了6.4.3的版本，给出的理由是 **selected by rule**，我就想说gradle这是啥奇奇怪怪的规则。。。经过一番搜索，终于发现这一篇帖子

大体是说SpringBoot的插件，会通过Spring dependency-management-plugin增加自己的依赖规则，其中包括会强制引入特定的版本，并忽视掉自己在gradle配置的版本（这也太坑了吧）。

//就是这个插件
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'


所以最后的解决方法是自定义全局的版本控制，如下

allprojects {
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
dependencySubstitution {
substitute module('org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch') with module('org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:5.1.1')
substitute module('org.elasticsearch.plugin:transport-netty4-client') with module('org.elasticsearch.plugin:transport-netty4-client:5.1.1')
substitute module('org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-client') with module('org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-client:5.1.1')
}
}
}
}


这可以告诉gradle强制使用5.1.1版本去替换依赖的elasticsearch的版本。当然这里我引入的transport所依赖的transport-netty4-client和elasticsearch-rest-client都被强制升级了，所以这里也进行配置一下。

最后，也许可以通过配置spring的插件解决，附上插件的github地址，有空研究一下
