I am following the definitive guide. I added this docume by issue this in sense PUT /megacorp/employee/1 { "first\_name" : "John", "last\_name" : "Smith", "age" : 25, "about" : "I love to go rock climbing", "interests": ["sports", "music"] } when I try to retrieve the docoment by doing this GET /megacorp/employee/1 But I didn't get original json back. It get some description of the stored document like this. { "\_index": "megacorp", "\_type": "employee", "\_id": "1", "\_version": 2, "found": true }. I did this on command line using cur. Same result come back. What do I missing? Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
