SpringBoot | ElasticSearch | Unsupported ID type

Question

I am trying to create an application where i can perform elastic search capabilities via spring boot and java, but i am facing java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported ID type class elastic.model.Identifier

Here is how the code looks

I have model classes

package elastic.model;

import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.annotations.Document;

@Document(indexName="customCustomer", type="elkcustomer")
public class Customer {

    @Id
    private Identifier identifier;
    private Order order;
    private String homeAddress;
    private String contact;
    //getters, setters, hashcode, equals, toString()

Identifier as

package elastic.model;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class Identifier implements Serializable {

    private String id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    //getters, setters, hashcode,equals, toString()

Order as

package elastic.model;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class Order implements Serializable {

    private int orderId;
    private String orderDescription;
    private float price;
    //getters, setters, hashcode, equals, toString

Repository as

package elastic.repository;

import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.repository.ElasticsearchRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import elastic.model.Customer;
import elastic.model.Identifier;

@Repository
public interface CustomerRepository extends ElasticsearchRepository<Customer, Identifier> {

}

And main runner class as

package elastic.service;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.repository.config.EnableElasticsearchRepositories;

import elastic.model.Customer;
import elastic.model.Identifier;
import elastic.model.Order;
import elastic.repository.CustomerRepository;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableElasticsearchRepositories(basePackages="elastic")
public class ElasticSearchApplication implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Autowired private CustomerRepository customerRepository;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ElasticSearchApplication.class);
    }

    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        this.customerRepository.deleteAll();
        saveCustomers();
    }

    private void saveCustomers() {
        this.customerRepository.saveAll(generateCustomers());
    }

    private List<Customer> generateCustomers() {
        List<Customer> customers = new ArrayList<Customer>();

        Customer customer1 = new Customer();
        Identifier identifier1 = new Identifier();
        identifier1.setId("1001");
        identifier1.setFirstName("Rahul");
        identifier1.setLastName("Lao");
        customer1.setIdentifier(identifier1);
        Order order1 = new Order();
        order1.setOrderId(1);
        order1.setOrderDescription("Order 1");
        order1.setPrice(23.45f);
        customer1.setOrder(order1);
        customer1.setHomeAddress("Germany");
        customer1.setContact("9874563210");

        customers.add(customer1);

        return customers;
    }

}

And exception that i face is

ERROR SpringApplication Application startup failed
 org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'elasticSearchApplication': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'customerRepository'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'customerRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported ID type class elastic.model.Identifier

How can i resolve this, so that i can take custom classes as ID and not just primitive data type such as String, long, int as id.

Thanks.

Have you tried creating a [composite primary key](http://www.objectdb.com/java/jpa/entity/id#Composite_Primary_Key_)? — Val, Nov 13 '17 at 15:48
an identifier in elasticsearch is a single field. Please dont treat it like any other DB. — MohamedSanaulla, Nov 13 '17 at 17:53
@Loui Did you found solution for this issue. I am facing the issue for a `Float` type primary key. — Avhi, Nov 21 '18 at 14:42
