Hi, I have a couchdb installed and up and running and i want to have a search engine in different machine.  
so i installed elasticsearch and elasticsearch-river / elasticsearch-head plugins in a different machine. (this new machine doesn't have a couchdb)

and i send a curl something like this,

url : [http://localhost:9200/\_river/remote\_db/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/remote_db/_meta)

{  
"type" : "couchdb",  
"couchdb" : {  
"host" : "192.168.1.100",  
"port" : 80,  
"db" : "remote\_db",  
"filter" : null  
},  
"index" : {  
"index" : "remote\_db",  
"type" : "remote\_db",  
"bulk\_size" : "100",  
"bulk\_timeout" : "10ms"  
}  
}

and i found this elasticsearch-head , browser section  
\_index \_type \_id \_score error  
\_river inventory \_status 1 NoClassSettingsException[Failed to load class with value [couchdb]]; nested: ClassNotFoundException[couchdb];

any idea?
