I am new to ElasticSearch. I tried the sample BulkRequestBuilder code to populate the index, but when i am retrieving the index by a query it gives 0 hits. i am using the following code for indexing. Please help ``` public void createIndex() throws IOException { try { BulkRequestBuilder bulkRequest = client.prepareBulk(); ``` client.admin().indices().prepareCreate(indexName).execute().actionGet(); ``` IndexRequestBuilder req = client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet", ``` "1") .setSource(jsonBuilder() .startObject() .field("user", "kimchy") .field("postDate", "12 June") .field("message", "trying out Elastic Search") .endObject() ); bulkRequest.add(req); ``` bulkRequest.add(client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet", "2") .setSource(jsonBuilder() .startObject() .field("user", "kimchy") .field("postDate", "12 June") .field("message", "another post") .endObject() ) ); BulkResponse bulkResponse = bulkRequest.execute().actionGet(); System.out.println("Added documents"); if (bulkResponse.hasFailures()) { System.out.println("Error"); } } catch (IndexAlreadyExistsException e) { System.out.println("Index already exists"); } } ``` ---

> the search code is: ``` public SearchHits search(String fieldName, String value) { TermQueryBuilder query = new TermQueryBuilder(fieldName, value); //System.out.println(query); return ``` client.prepareSearch(indexName).setTypes("tweet").setExplain(true).setQuery(query).execute().actionGet().getHits(); } ("user", "kimchy") are the passes parameters. ---

Are you using the default mapping? Your are using a TermQuery, which should be used only on non-analyzed fields. That said, the term "kimchy" should be the same, analyzed or not. Is indexName = to "twitter"? Any errors in bulkResponse? Check bulkResponse.items().length and bulkResponse.hasFailures(). -- Ivan On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 5:24 AM, Saurabh [saurabh.k1510@gmail.com](mailto:saurabh.k1510@gmail.com) wrote: > > the search code is: > > ``` > public SearchHits search(String fieldName, String value) { > TermQueryBuilder query = new TermQueryBuilder(fieldName, value); > //System.out.println(query); > return > > ``` > > client.prepareSearch(indexName).setTypes("tweet").setExplain(true).setQuery(query).execute().actionGet().getHits(); > } > > ("user", "kimchy") are the passes parameters. ---

Yes, the mapping is default and the indexName is "twitter". bulkResponse does not have any failures. Is there any way to check whether the documents are added in the index?

After a bit of researching i got a small app that tells number of document in the ES index. I ran that application, and figured out that the documents are not getting added to the index. The search code looks fine to me. Any idea why the documents are not getting added using bulkRequestBuilder?

I got the answer. I was doing the search wrong, I gave the type as "tweet" but while searching i was only giving fieldName as "user" , however it should have been "tweet.user" . Its giving 2 hits now. Thanks for the reply anyways. ---
