Hello, I downloaded the plugin mapper-attachments and and tried to set a mapping where the type is "attachment". I did restart after I installed the mapper-attachment. However, I am getting the error - "No handler for type [attachment]". How do I resolve this error? -- ---

Your plugin is not loaded.

I used the example from the Elasticsearch website ([Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2011/07/18/attachment-type-in-action.html)). I define my mapping as such: curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/\_mapping" -d '{ "attachment" : { "properties" : { "file" : { "type" : "attachment", "fields" : { "title" : { "store" : "yes" }, "file" : { "term\_vector":"with\_positions\_offsets", "store":"yes" } } } } } }' On Friday, August 17, 2012 12:38:29 PM UTC-4, David Pilato wrote: > Hmmm.

Hi msya, this might be a version issue. If you are not on version 0.19.8 can you try updating to it?
