Code:

Blob blob = storage.get(blobId);
if(blob.exists()) {
    return true;
}

Answer 1

Your Google guava version is either too old (< 20.0) or mismatched (multiple jars versions). Make sure you don't have several versions in your dependency tree.

Use

mvn dependency:tree | less

to look for the guava versions.
