Hi Hilko,
Be very careful with guava, the upstream developers enjoy removing
deprecated methods and the new releases often break the compatibility.
Each upgrade has to be thoroughly tested to ensure it doesn't break the
reverse dependencies. If it happens a solution may be to add back the
removed methods/classes, that's faster than updating the rdeps one by one.
Did you check if Elasticsearch really needs the latest version of Guava?
Maybe the pom declares a dependency on Guava 18 but the code doesn't
actually rely on the latest features.
