ElasticSearch mapper-attachments 2.2

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I was looking to use Apache-Tika via the mapper-attachments plugin to import some data from some Microsoft Word documents so i started following the documents here:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/2.2/mapper-attachments-helloworld.html

I PUT the base64 string into elasticsearch thinking the plugin would convert it as it indexes it but when I perform a search afterwards the data is still in base64.

Any idea what is happening?

Output looks like this:

{
  "took": 3,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
  "total": 5,
  "successful": 5,
  "failed": 0
},
  "hits": {
  "total": 1,
  "max_score": 0.095891505,
  "hits": [
    {
      "_index": "trying-out-mapper-attachments",
      "_type": "person",
      "_id": "1",
      "_score": 0.095891505,
      "_source": {
      "cv": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0="
      }
    }
  ]
 }
}

I was expecting to see something like this:

echo e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0= | base64 --decode

We never modify the source. So it's stored as you sent it.

But the content has been extracted, indexed behind the scene so you can probably search for it.

Thanks David, I suspected the source would not be modified but the output from this example search in the documentation returns the unmodified source which suggest that it is matching. How do I get to see the data that has been extracted?
