Hi,

I am using ELK stack and have a cluster of 2 elasticsearch nodes. When I am  
querying Elasticsearch from kibana. I am getting the following log error  
message in the elasticsearch log file.

[http://pastebin.com/sD539SNZ](http://pastebin.com/sD539SNZ)

I am not able to figure out what is causing the error to happen. Any input  
will greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Quoting your gist:

... "filtered":{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":"tags:"sjc-array254"  
AND proc" AND cmd:"pmd""}},"filter": ...

So, it looks like you're sending the following query:

tags:"sjc-array254" AND proc" AND cmd:"pmd"

There's a quote too many in there.
