spring - java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE

Question

When trying to submit my topology through StormSubmitter, I am getting -

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE  
at org.apache.http.impl.io.DefaultHttpRequestWriterFactory.<init>(DefaultHttpRequestWriterFactory.java:52)

I am using Spring.

I am not initializing HttpClient in Spout/Bolt Constructor. Instead its initialized in constructor of a class that is being fetched from Spring Context in prepare() method of bolt

Code is structured as follows -

SomeBolt.java

@Component
public class SomeBolt extends BaseRichBolt {
    private OutputCollector _collector;
    private SomeClient someClient;

    @Override
    public void prepare(Map conf, TopologyContext context, OutputCollector collector) {
        _collector = collector;
        someClient = AppContext.getBean(SomeClient.class);
    }
}

SomeClient.java

@Component
public class SomeClient {
    private final CloseableHttpClient httpClient;

    public SomeClient() {
        this.httpClient = (httpClient == null ? HttpClients.createDefault() : httpClient);
    }
}

AppContext.java

@Component
public class AppContext implements ApplicationContextAware {

    private static ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    @Override
    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException {
        AppContext.applicationContext = applicationContext;
    }

    public static <T> T getBean(Class<T> c) {
        return applicationContext.getBean(c);
    }
}

This is probably a dependency issue.

It's a very unclear error message but I found something similar here: Hibernate NoSuchFieldError INSTANCE but only with Struts 1?
