HI all, Have anybody encountered the following error before when using bulk java api to create indices? _[12]: index [201201], type [kba], id [1326950520-7bfb3ba1ef213e53a8db20fe14b300e5], message [RemoteTransportException[[Dust][inet[/172.23.64.85:9300]][bulk/shard]]; nested: NullPointerException; ]_ It looked like that there existed some mismatched fields? but I did not have some the mapping setting of my index is listed belows : XContentBuilder mapping = jsonBuilder() .startObject() .startObject("kba") .startObject("properties") .startObject("\_source").field("compress", "true").endObject() .startObject("stream\_id").field("type", "string").field("index","no").endObject() .startObject("source").field("type", "string").field("index", "no").endObject() .startObject("epoch\_ticks").field("type", "double").field("index", "no").endObject() .startObject("zulu\_timestamp").field("type", "string").field("index","no").endObject() .startObject("title\_cleansed").field("type","string").field("index", "yes").endObject() .startObject("title\_ner").field("type","string").field("index","no").endObject() .startObject("body\_cleansed").field("type","string").endObject() .startObject("body\_ner").field("type","string").field("index","no").endObject() .endObject() .endObject() .endObject(); PutMappingRequest mappingRequest = Requests.putMappingRequest(indexName).type("kba").source(mapping); client.admin().indices().putMapping(mappingRequest).actionGet(); I am using ElasticSearch 0.90.beta1 and I add about 500 docs in one bulkRequest object.

Hey, first, can you test with 0.90.0.RC2 to make sure you are using the latest version? second, can you post us a complete sample (as a gist preferrably), what you were doing, so we can reproduce the issue? third, can you check your logfiles to get a complete stack trace? Also the '\_source' configuration should be stored outside the 'properties' field --Alex On Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 3:51 PM, Jingang Wang [bitwjg@gmail.com](mailto:bitwjg@gmail.com) wrote: > HI all, > > Have anybody encountered the following error before when using bulk java > api to create indices? > _[12]: index [201201], type [kba], id > [1326950520-7bfb3ba1ef213e53a8db20fe14b300e5], message > [RemoteTransportException[[Dust][inet[/172.23.64.85:9300]][bulk/shard]]; > nested: NullPointerException; ]_ > > It looked like that there existed some mismatched fields? but I did not > have some > > the mapping setting of my index is listed belows : > XContentBuilder mapping = jsonBuilder() > .startObject() > .startObject("kba") > .startObject("properties") > .startObject("\_source").field("compress", "true").endObject() > .startObject("stream\_id").field("type", > "string").field("index","no").endObject() > .startObject("source").field("type", "string").field("index", > "no").endObject() > .startObject("epoch\_ticks").field("type", > "double").field("index", "no").endObject() > .startObject("zulu\_timestamp").field("type", > "string").field("index","no").endObject() > > .startObject("title\_cleansed").field("type","string").field("index", > "yes").endObject() > > .startObject("title\_ner").field("type","string").field("index","no").endObject() > .startObject("body\_cleansed").field("type","string").endObject() > > .startObject("body\_ner").field("type","string").field("index","no").endObject() > .endObject() > .endObject() > .endObject(); > PutMappingRequest mappingRequest = > Requests.putMappingRequest(indexName).type("kba").source(mapping); > client.admin().indices().putMapping(mappingRequest).actionGet(); > > I am using Elasticsearch 0.90.beta1 and I add about 500 docs in > one bulkRequest object. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
