NoSQL

Spring Boot offers a number of starters that support NoSQL technologies. This section answers questions that arise from using NoSQL with Spring Boot.

Use Jedis Instead of Lettuce

By default, the Spring Boot starter (spring-boot-starter-data-redis) uses Lettuce. You need to exclude that dependency and include the Jedis one instead. Spring Boot manages both of these dependencies so you can switch to Jedis without specifying a version.

The following example shows how to do so in Maven:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId>
	<exclusions>
		<exclusion>
			<groupId>io.lettuce</groupId>
			<artifactId>lettuce-core</artifactId>
		</exclusion>
	</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
	<artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
</dependency>

The following example shows how to do so in Gradle:

dependencies {
	implementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis') {
	    exclude group: 'io.lettuce', module: 'lettuce-core'
	}
	implementation 'redis.clients:jedis'
	// ...
}
