I'm having an issue with the CSV I'm trying to figure out. I've included all the setup info and data below. When I drop the csv into the /tmp/test directory I get the following error [2013-08-30 12:01:17,148][INFO][gateway] [Spider-Slayer] recovered [1] indices into cluster\_state [2013-08-30 12:01:17,358][WARN][river] [Spider-Slayer] failed to create river [csv][my\_csv\_river] org.elasticsearch.common.inject.CreationException: Guice creation errors: 1.
