How to use different spring module (spring-data-redis) version in specific spring boot version

Question

I have a Spring boot project - its parent is spring-boot-starter-parent:2.1.9.RELEASE. I want to use the spring-data-redis with 2.2.0.RELEASE version (not the spring-boot-starter-data-redis because this does not support redis-streams). Also I use Lettuce version io.lettuce:lettuce-core:5.2.0.RELEASE.

My pom.xml

     <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.9.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>
    ...
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId>
    </dependency> 
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-redis</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.lettuce</groupId>
        <artifactId>lettuce-core</artifactId>
        <version>5.2.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

However, I get the following error when run, though the application has no compilation errors.

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:

            org.springframework.data.redis.repository.configuration.RedisRepositoryConfigurationExtension.createMappingConfigBeanDef(RedisRepositoryConfigurationExtension.java:168)

The following method did not exist:

org/springframework/data/repository/config/RepositoryConfigurationSource.getRequiredAttribute(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/Object;

The method's class, org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryConfigurationSource, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/Users/user1/.m2/repository/org/springframework/data/spring-data-commons/2.1.11.RELEASE/spring-data-commons-2.1.11.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/data/repository/config/RepositoryConfigurationSource.class

It was loaded from the following location:

file:/Users/user1/.m2/repository/org/springframework/data/spring-data-commons/2.1.11.RELEASE/spring-data-commons-2.1.11.RELEASE.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryConfigurationSource

The spring-data-redis is resolved to 2.1.11.release version.

With the hint given by Dirk Deyne (who deleted those comments?), the spring-data-redis version can be overriden with the expected version like this

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-redis</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

Having got other dependency issues because of this (error in question) specific version, have to add other libraries versions too, in this case

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

and the

     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-keyvalue</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
