I recently started using elastic search and couchdb and I have the  
following problem. I have a couch database with a bunch of documents. I add  
a couch db river index on elastic search and I expect to have those  
documents indexed and searchable. But when I search for anything through ES  
I dont get any results. The command flow is as follows:

The command above verifies that there are 4 documents in the couch db  
instance

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET [http://localhost:5984/my\_db](http://localhost:5984/my_db)

{"db\_name":"my\_db","doc\_count":4,"doc\_del\_count":0,"update\_seq":4,"purge\_seq":0,"compact\_running":false,"disk\_size":16482,"data\_size":646,"instance\_start\_time":"1370204643908592","disk\_format\_version":6,"committed\_update\_seq":4}

The \_changes output:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET [http://localhost:5984/my\_db/\_changes](http://localhost:5984/my_db/_changes)  
{"results":[  
{"seq":1,"id":"1","changes":[{"rev":"1-40d928a959dd52d183ab7c413fabca92"}]},  
{"seq":2,"id":"2","changes":[{"rev":"1-42212757a56b240f5205266b1969e890"}]},  
{"seq":3,"id":"3","changes":[{"rev":"1-f59c2ae7acacb68d9414be05d56ed33a"}]},  
{"seq":4,"id":"4","changes":[{"rev":"1-e86cf1c287c16906e81d901365b9bf98"}]}  
],  
"last\_seq":4}

Now, below I m creating my index in ES.

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/my\_db/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/my_db/_meta)' -d '{ "type" : "couchdb", "couchdb" : { "host" : "localhost", "port" : 5984, "db" : "my\_db", "filter" : null } }'

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

But I dont get anything back.

curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/my\_db/my\_db/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/my_db/my_db/_search?pretty=true)"  
{  
"took" : 2,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"max\_score" : null,  
"hits" : []  
}  
}

Is there anything I m missing?

Thanks, Yannis

Not sure that default type is dbname.  
What do you get with:  
curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/my\_db/\_search?q=\*&pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/my_db/_search?q=*&pretty=true)"  
?

David,

Sorry for the old post revival, but I'm getting this same error with no  
hits with Couchdb rivers (2.4.1), Elasticsearch (1.4.2), and Couchdb  
(1.6.1). I am fairly new to using couch-rivers but I've installed all the  
applications and they are running on Centos 7. Can you please see if you  
notice anything wrong? I've looked everywhere but can not find a solution.  
Thank you in advance

I added some dummy data into my couchdb database "testdb":

# curl -XGET localhost:5984/testdb/\_changes

{"results":[  
{"seq":1,"id":"1","changes":[{"rev":"1-0291....."}]},  
{"seq":2,"id":"2","changes":[{"rev":"1-1945....."}]},  
{"seq":3,"id":"3","changes":[{"rev":"1-62a5....."}]},  
{"seq":4,"id":"4","changes":[{"rev":"1-7e93....."}]},  
],  
"last\_seq":4}

I run this to make the index:

# curl -X PUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/testdb/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/testdb/_meta)' -d '{ "type" :

"couchdb", "couchdb" : { "host" : "localhost", "port" : 5984, "db" :  
"testdb", "filter" : null }"'

Get a return of:

# 

{"index":"\_river","\_type":"testdb","\_id":"\_meta","\_version":1,"created":true"}

When I try to do the query:

# curl localhost:9200/testdb/testdb/\_search?pretty=1

{  
"took" : 1,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"max\_score" : null,  
"hits" :   
}  
}

When I use the

# curl [http://localhost:9200/\_search?q=\*&pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/_search?q=*&pretty=true)

{  
"took" : 2,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 16,  
"successful" : 16,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 1,  
"max\_score" : 1.0,  
"hits" : [ {  
"\_index" : "\_river",  
"\_type" : "testdb",  
"\_id" : "\_meta",  
"\_score" : "1.0",  
"\_source" : {"type" "couchdb", "couchdb" : {"host" : "localhost",  
"port": "5984", "db" : "testdb", "filter" : null}}  
} ]  
}  
}

Try with:

localhost:9200/testdb/\_search

I think you are using the default type name here which is not IIRC the river name.

Hello I tried as suggested but I get the same outcome:

# curl localhost:9200/testdb/\_search?pretty=1

{  
"took" : 1,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"max\_score" : null,  
"hits" :   
}  
}

Hello I tried as suggested but I get the same outcome:

# curl localhost:9200/testdb/\_search?pretty=1

{  
"took" : 1,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"max\_score" : null,  
"hits" :   
}  
}

Sorry about that David. After setting to DEBUG, I don't anything that's  
showing an error. I did a grep for "testdb" and only found a lot of (I  
also did look at the raw log and did not see any errors):

Elasticsearch.log:  
[Crime-Buster][testdb]state: [POST\_RECOVERY]-\>[STARTED], reason [global  
state is [STARTED]]  
[Crime-Buster][testdb]processing [shard-started ([testdb][4]  
node[60hasdfadsf...].[P],s[INITIALIZING]), reason [after recovery from  
gateway]]: done applying updated cluster\_state  
[Crime-Buster][testdb] updating index\_buffer size from [64mb] to [6.3mb]

A side note, since I'm more accustomed to Windows OS. I took the time to  
install all the same application versions as above and I was able to do a  
query.

One thing I did notice when I did a query on Windows 7, the index [testdb]  
was not found and I had to do a

# curl -XPUT localhost:9200/testdb

then I did

# curl localhost:9200/testdb/testdb/\_search , which is pulling the data

from couchdb correctly. But again this was all working on Windows 7 OS but  
I can't get this working on Centos.

Do you happen to know if there is a issue using Centos 7 RHEL that may not  
allow the query to go through?
