UnsolvableVersionConflictException updating apache beam version

Question

Currently I'm using apache beam 2.18.0 within GCP (Dataflow) and I would like to update it to 2.20.0

The problem is I have the following error if I use 2.20.0 instead of 2.18.0 in my pom file:

Caused by: org.eclipse.aether.collection.UnsolvableVersionConflictException: Could not resolve version conflict among [com.google.api:gax-grpc:jar:1.56.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-stub:jar:1.28.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1, com.google.api:gax-grpc:jar:1.56.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-auth:jar:1.28.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:[1.28.1,1.28.1], com.google.api:gax-grpc:jar:1.56.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:jar:1.28.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1, com.google.api:gax-grpc:jar:1.56.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:jar:1.28.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-protobuf-lite:jar:1.28.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1, com.google.api:gax-grpc:jar:1.56.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-netty-shaded:jar:1.28.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-core:jar:[1.28.1,1.28.1] -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:[1.28.1,1.28.1], com.google.cloud:google-cloud-kms:jar:1.38.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1, com.google.cloud:google-cloud-datastore:jar:1.102.4 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> com.google.cloud:google-cloud-bigquerystorage:jar:0.120.1-beta -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.25.0, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> com.google.cloud.bigtable:bigtable-client-core:jar:1.13.0 -> com.google.cloud:google-cloud-bigtable:jar:1.9.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.26.0, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> com.google.cloud.bigtable:bigtable-client-core:jar:1.13.0 -> com.google.api.grpc:grpc-google-cloud-bigtable-v2:jar:1.9.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.26.0, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> com.google.cloud.bigtable:bigtable-client-core:jar:1.13.0 -> com.google.api.grpc:grpc-google-cloud-bigtable-admin-v2:jar:1.9.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.26.0, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> com.google.cloud.bigtable:bigtable-client-core:jar:1.13.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.26.0, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> com.google.cloud:google-cloud-core-grpc:jar:1.92.2 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.26.0, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> com.google.cloud:google-cloud-spanner:jar:1.49.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.26.0, org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-all:jar:1.25.0 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:[1.25.0,1.25.0]]

I have seen other question with a similar problem but I can not see any relation with apache beam.

Which dependency should I add or remove?

If I exclude the following:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.api</groupId>
     <artifactId>gax-grpc</artifactId>

          <exclusions>

                <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
                  <artifactId>grpc-api</artifactId>
             </exclusion>
           </exclusions>
</dependency>

The error about the dependency disappears, but, If I do that, I can not finish the compilation of the project because I get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.cache.CacheBuilder.expireAfterWrite(Ljava/time/Duration;)Lcom/google/common/cache/CacheBuilder;

can you share what GCP-related dependencies you have in your pom.xml? — Pablo, May 07 '20 at 19:47

So looking at the message, you have these three groups of dependencies that seem to be conflicting:

com.google.api:gax-grpc:jar:1.56.0 -> (...) -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1

com.google.cloud:google-cloud-kms:jar:1.38.1 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1
com.google.cloud:google-cloud-datastore:jar:1.102.4 -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.28.1

org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> (...) -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.25.0
org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-google-cloud-platform:jar:2.20.0 -> (...) -> io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.26.0

So it seems that you need to match up those three groups (gax-grpc, google-cloud-kms, google-cloud-datastore).

You could use dependencyManagement to force grpc-api and grpc-core versions around a single one (1.26.0 or perhaps 1.28.1)...

I have seen here [link](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53472665/10346701) that this kind of error could be due some inconsistency between the Apache Beam and Google but I still don't get the solution. Should I exclude something within a dependency? In which dependency should I exclude what? — IoT user, May 25 '20 at 14:06
