A query I believe should work, doesn't seem to

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've loaded an ES instance with some sample data and while the queries
in the documentation seem to work, I'm missing something when I try to
get the same queries to work against my data.

This query does not return any results:

curl -XGET localhost:9200/music/song/_search?q=artist:"Quarashi"

Here is how I loaded the data:

curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/music/song -d '
{
song_id : "00000000000000009771",
title : "Malone Lives",
version : "Clean Version",
artist : "Quarashi",
year : "2002",
genre : "Pop",
label : "Time Bomb Recordings",
album_title : ""
}'

Sorry for the rather simply question, I'll ask more interesting
questions as I get further into this project.

It works for me, are you using the latest version from git?

Version: elasticsearch-0.4.0
not from git.

Here's the actual transcript:

$ curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/music/song -d '

{
song_id : "00000000000000009771",
title : "Malone Lives",
version : "Clean Version",
artist : "Quarashi",
year : "2002",
genre : "Pop",
label : "Time Bomb Recordings",
album_title : ""

}'
{"ok":true,"_index":"music","_type":"song","_id":"7520c46e-5951-4a8c-88ec-8bdca9e2a849"}

$ curl -XGET localhost:9200/music/song/_search?q=artist:"Quarashi"
{"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":
0,"hits":}}

While this query does work:

$ curl -XGET localhost:9200/music/song/_search?q=year:"2002"
{"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":
1,"hits":
[{"_index":"music","_type":"song","_id":"7520c46e-5951-4a8c-88ec-8bdca9e2a849",
"_source" :
{
song_id : "00000000000000009771",
title : "Malone Lives",
version : "Clean Version",
artist : "Quarashi",
year : "2002",
genre : "Pop",
label : "Time Bomb Recordings",
album_title : ""

}}]}}

Not knowing anything about the internals, I'd say it is likely that
this has something to do with bugs that existed in mapping.

A lot has changed in the latest version from github, a lot of bugs have
been fixed. I would recommend using it over the 0.4 release.

It's dead easy to compile. On linux, you'd do something like this:

cd ~
git clone git://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.git
cd elasticsearch
./gradlew

cd /path/where/you/want/elasticsearch
unzip ~/elasticsearch/distributions/elasticsearch*

Since I'm just going through getting all this stuff to work on an
Ubuntu 9.10 system, I may as well document some of the packages that
aren't installed by default that are needed for elasticsearch

apt-get install curl
apt-get install sun-java6-bin
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
apt-get install git-core

(I may have missed a few packages, but the above should get things
going)

The build instructions are great, just one minor bug, in the unzip
line:

cd ~
git clone git://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.git
cd elasticsearch
./gradlew

cd /path/where/you/want/elasticsearch
unzip ~/elasticsearch/build/distributions/elasticsearch*

Version 0.5.0-SNAPSHOT fixes the problem I presented earlier. Clinton,
thank you very much for your help.

Yea, current master is much more stable than 0.4. Expect 0.5 to be released
any day... .
