Hi, As i was exploring the mapper-attachement plugin. I realized that all the documents content has to be converted int base64 encoding.? is there any way not to do that...? Sily question..? WHY..? bcoz of memory...? And when viewing in Kibana in TABLE PANEL format it shows in base64 encoding in but in terms panel it shows proper text..am I missing on something? Any help greatl appreciated... Thanks, Santosh B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
