Hi all,

There is a issue where I can't highlight a particular field & I am clueless  
about the error here.

Analyzer:

```
    "analysis": {
        "analyzer": {
            "nonword":{
                "type": "pattern",
                "pattern":"[^\\w]+"
            }
        }
    }

```

Mapping:

```
            "server" : {
                "type" : "multi_field",
                    "fields" : {
                        "server": {"type" : "string", "analyzer" :

```

"nonword"},  
"not\_analyzed" : { "type" : "string", "index" :  
"not\_analyzed" }  
}  
},

Query: [http://pb.abhijeetr.com/UiHE?json](http://pb.abhijeetr.com/UiHE?json)

Response:

{  
"error" : "SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase  
[query\_fetch], total failure; shardFailures  
{[iFkY8B1mSfqWCItKa3Yx7g][events-mq][0]:  
FetchPhaseExecutionException[[events-mq][0]:  
query[filtered(server:"\*")-\>cache(date:[1340381493703 TO

Fetch Failed [Failed to highlight field [server]]]; nested:  
IOException[Stream closed]; }]",  
"status" : 500  
}

Can anybody explain what's the issue here? Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the problem. Can you provide us with a full gist to  
reproduce the issue (with curl commands to create the index, configure the  
mapping, add data and finally run the query that raises this error)?

Thank you.
