Hello, I try to work with the new completion suggester (0.90.3) through java API, but i get this error : _Suggest Response[Error: Can not write a field name, expecting a value_] _This a sample code that i execute :_ //client is a transport client client.prepareSuggest("myIndex") .addSuggestion(new CompletionSuggestionBuilder("") .field("tag") .text("foo") .size(10)) .execute().actionGet(); If i use _"prepareSearch"_ instead of _"prepareSuggest"_ this work correctly (searchs results+suggestions).

Could you please post the stacktrace of the error you get back? You should see it in the elasticsearch log too.

Sorry Luca but there are no stacktrace. I've noted that this error is not due to the request himself but "just" to the _"toString"_ method fromSuggestResponse[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/suggest/SuggestResponse.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/suggest/SuggestResponse.java)(which catch the error and pretty print it) I could retrieve my "completions informations" but i've the mentionned error if i try to outprint directly the response object (it's not _blocking_for me). This is my test code (_scala_): ``` *//client is a transport client* *val* suggestResponse = client.prepareSuggest("myIndex") .addSuggestion(*new*CompletionSuggestionBuilder("test_case") .field("tag") .text("foo") .size(10)) .execute().actionGet(); *//print suggest response to console* println(suggestResponse) *// Suggest Response[Error: Can not write a ``` field name, expecting a value]\* ``` *// Get completion values* *val* it = ``` suggestResponse.getSuggest().iterator().next().getEntries().get(0).iterator() ``` *while* (it.hasNext()) { println(it.next().getText()) *// works fine print each expected ``` fields\* } On Tuesday, September 10, 2013 9:17:28 PM UTC+4, Luca Cavanna wrote: > Could you please post the stacktrace of the error you get back?

Hi, thanks to your reply I was able to understand where the problem was. Nothing blocking, but still a bug in the SuggestResponse#toString method, which was throwing that exception all the time. I created an issue for this: [JsonGenerationException thrown in SuggestResponse#toString method · Issue #3661 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3661) . Just pushed a fix as well, it will be in the next release.
