Not yet. It only index the fact you have an attachment but not the attachment itself.

First : you can implement it here : \<[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/river/co](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/river/co) uchdb/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/river/couchdb/CouchdbRiver.java#L269\> [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/river/cou](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/river/cou) chdb/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/river/couchdb/CouchdbRiver.java#L269 Second : you can index attachments yourself as attachment but you can’t use the river for that. You can for example develop a batch that fetch content from the couchDb \_changes API and then get the attachments and push a new JSON document with attachment in it ( see also : [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/attachment-type.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/attachment-type.html) [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/attachment-type.html) ) David.

just out of curiosity, why do you use CouchDB and ES, cant you just use ES as it essentially behaves like no-sql db?
