ChromaVectorStore write() succeeds in Spring Boot 3.3.4, fails in Spring Boot 3.4.1

Bug description
Running code that creates embeddings and writes them to a Chroma vector store. Code works, but if I upgrade the app from Spring Boot 3.3.4 to 3.4.1, the write fails with:

Environment
Spring AI 1.0.0-M5, ChromaDB 0.5.20

Expected behavior
App should continue to work in Spring Boot 3.4.1

Minimal Complete Reproducible example
Code snippet that triggers issue:

        Resource resource = new ByteArrayResource(billText.getFullText().getBytes());
        TextReader reader = new TextReader(resource);
        List<Document> split = tokenSplitter.split(reader.read());
        for (Document document : split) {
            document.getMetadata().put(BILL_METADATA, billText.getBillId());
        }
        vectorStore.write(split);

I’m experiencing the same issue. Could it possibly be related to RestClient?

Hi @cpage-pivotal @Bofutw , It would be helpful to have a GitHub example to investigate this issue. I just tried to replicate the issue via this example and it works fine with Spring Boot 3.4.1. Let me know what's missing in my test to reproduce the issue. Thanks
