Hi,
I got this warning that appears every few other times in Kibana:
Courier Fetch : 5 of 15 shards failed
In my elasticSearch log i get the following error message:
[2018-03-17T23:23:22,723][DEBUG][o.e.a.s.TransportSearchAction] [K-XtAVd] [emlheaders-fr][3], node[K-XtAVdWQIK3dacw4sh6Eg], [P], s[STARTED], a[id=9DIX0d1PRJG1\_jQtVvpAYg]: Failed to execute [SearchRequest{searchType=QUERY\_THEN\_FETCH, indices=[emlheaders-_], indicesOptions=IndicesOptions[id=39, ignore\_unavailable=true, allow\_no\_indices=true, expand\_wildcards\_open=true, expand\_wildcards\_closed=false, allow\_aliases\_to\_multiple\_indices=true, forbid\_closed\_indices=true, ignore\_aliases=false], types=[], routing='null', preference='1521328914878', requestCache=null, scroll=null, maxConcurrentShardRequests=5, batchedReduceSize=512, preFilterShardSize=64, source={"size":0,"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match\_all":{"boost":1.0}},{"match\_all":{"boost":1.0}},{"range":{"timestamp":{"from":1518740601129,"to":1521329001130,"include\_lower":true,"include\_upper":true,"format":"epoch\_millis","boost":1.0}}}],"adjust\_pure\_negative":true,"boost":1.0}},"version":true,"\_source":{"includes":[],"excludes":[]},"stored\_fields":"_","docvalue\_fields":["timestamp"],"script\_fields":{},"aggregations":{"filter\_agg":{"filter":{"geo\_bounding\_box":{"bodyurls.geo.geo":{"top\_left":[-180.0,90.0],"bottom\_right":[180.0,-90.0]},"validation\_method":"STRICT","type":"MEMORY","ignore\_unmapped":false,"boost":1.0}},"aggregations":{"2":{"geohash\_grid":{"field":"bodyurls.geo.geo","precision":2,"size":10000},"aggregations":{"3":{"geo\_centroid":{"field":"bodyurls.geo.geo"}}}}}}},"highlight":{"pre\_tags":["@kibana-highlighted-field@"],"post\_tags":["@/kibana-highlighted-field@"],"fragment\_size":2147483647,"fields":{"\*":{}}}}}]
org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: [K-XtAVd][x.x.x.x:9300][indices:data/read/search[phase/query]]
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Fielddata is disabled on text fields by default. Set fielddata=true on [bodyurls.geo.geo] in order to load fielddata in memory by uninverting the inverted index. Note that this can however use significant memory. Alternatively use a keyword field instead.
I just dont know where to go from here. Last suggestion seems to set fielddata=true on [bodyurls.geo.geo], but how, and does it matter that it is a geo point.
Thanks

What sort of visualisation are you building on the `bodyurls.geo.geo` field and what is the mapping of it?

I am doing a world map and the type of the field is : geo\_point

Can you show us the `_mapping` endpoint for that index?

While looking at the \_mapping for index-\* I noticed that:
index-au had a text field for bodyurls.geo.geo but index-fr had a geo\_point as a type, as well as index-\* had geo\_point specified. seems ok now.
