Error is thrown while indexing a document through Elasticsearch rest client

Question

I am using spring boot application with Elasticsearch rest high level client. While indexing a document in already created index customer , I am facing following issue :

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface org.elasticsearch.common.bytes.BytesReference, but class was expected

I am indexing document using following code :

public String createProfileDocument(Customer document) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("document value is"+document.toString());
    Map<String, Object> documentMapper = objectMapper.convertValue(document, Map.class);

    IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest("customer")
            .source(documentMapper);

    IndexResponse indexResponse = client.index(indexRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

    return indexResponse
            .getResult()
            .name();
}

The above error is thrown on this line of code :

IndexResponse indexResponse = client.index(indexRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Stack trace of the error is :
