Hi All,

I am running elasticsearch 0.18.7 and mongodb 1.8.3 and I have installed  
mongodb-river plugins,

elasticsearch-river-mongodb-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT  
mongo-java-driver-2.5.3  
elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-1.0.0  
tika-app-0.10

The ES server starts fine and when I try to index the person collection  
with following command,

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/mongodb/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/mongodb/_meta)' -d '{  
"type": "mongodb",  
"mongodb": {  
"db": "testmongo",  
"collection": "person"  
},  
"index": {  
"name": "mongoindex",  
"type": "person"  
}  
}'

I get the below given error (filter is null.) infinitely.
