I have an Elasticsearch instance with the river-couchdb plugin  
installed successfuly. I've followed the instruction here:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2010/08/01/couchb-integration.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2010/08/01/couchb-integration.html)  
and am returned:

{"ok":true,"\_index":"\_river","\_type":"tasks","\_id":"\_meta","\_version":  
1}

So, as far as I see, it's is successful. My CouchDB has nearly 45000  
documents, and when I query elasticsearch as follows:

[http://localhost:9200/tasks/\_search?q=\*](http://localhost:9200/tasks/_search?q=*)

I am only return 1 document. Also checking the stats of this index  
only shows the index containing one document. Any ideas as to why only  
one document is be loaded into Elasticsearch?

Thanks

I discovered this ultimately was not an issue with Elasticsearch, but  
with my mapping. In my local development environment I was using a  
much smaller Couch data set and thus the mapping conflicts were not  
encountered.
