APPLICATION FAILED TO START when create-indices = true

Bug description

The property spring.ai.chat.memory.repository.mongo.create-indices = true causes the following error:

***************************
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.ai.model.chat.memory.repository.mongo.autoconfigure.MongoChatMemoryIndexCreatorAutoConfiguration.initIndicesAfterStartup(MongoChatMemoryIndexCreatorAutoConfiguration.java:61)

The following method did not exist:

    'java.lang.String org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.IndexOperations.createIndex(org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.IndexDefinition)'

The calling method's class, org.springframework.ai.model.chat.memory.repository.mongo.autoconfigure.MongoChatMemoryIndexCreatorAutoConfiguration, was loaded from the following location:

    jar:file:/C:/Users/wbertolasi/.m2/repository/org/springframework/ai/spring-ai-autoconfigure-model-chat-memory-repository-mongodb/1.1.0/spring-ai-autoconfigure-model-chat-memory-repository-mongodb-1.1.0.jar!/org/springframework/ai/model/chat/memory/repository/mongo/autoconfigure/MongoChatMemoryIndexCreatorAutoConfiguration.class

The called method's class, org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.IndexOperations, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/C:/Users/wbertolasi/.m2/repository/org/springframework/data/spring-data-mongodb/4.2.4/spring-data-mongodb-4.2.4.jar!/org/springframework/data/mongodb/core/index/IndexOperations.class

The called method's class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

    org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.IndexOperations: file:/C:/Users/wbertolasi/.m2/repository/org/springframework/data/spring-data-mongodb/4.2.4/spring-data-mongodb-4.2.4.jar

Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains compatible versions of the classes org.springframework.ai.model.chat.memory.repository.mongo.autoconfigure.MongoChatMemoryIndexCreatorAutoConfiguration and org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.IndexOperations

It seems there is no way starting the application with no errors.

Steps to reproduce ``` 1. Configure Spring Boot + Spring AI with the configuration above. 2. Start the application. 3. Observe the error.

Expected behavior When create-indices: true is set and ttl is defined, Spring AI should automatically create: 1. a TTL index (expireAfterSeconds = ttl) on the document creation date field (or equivalent) 2. any other necessary indices for managing the chat memory (e.g., on conversationId, createdAt, etc.) These indices should be visible in MongoDB via getIndexes().
