I'm executing this code: ``` MultiGetResponse response = this.elasticClient.prepareMultiGet() .add(this.user.getMe().getUser(), FollowUpActivityRepository.ELASTICSEARCH_COLLECTION, ids) .execute() .actionGet(); ``` I'm getting a response. Nevertheless, even thought the requested document by id exists, it's telling me that it's not able to get it: ``` for (MultiGetItemResponse singleResponse : response.getResponses()) { if (singleResponse.getResponse().isExists()) { ((((1))) <<<< code never reached. } } ``` I've took a look into `response.responses[0].response` and I'm getting this message: > Error building toString out of XContent: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException: Can not start an object, expecting field name > at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.\_reportError(JsonGenerator.java:1676) > at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json.UTF8JsonGenerator.\_verifyValueWrite(UTF8JsonGenerator.java:925) > at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json.UTF8JsonGenerator.writeStartObject(UTF8JsonGenerator.java:300) > at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.json.JsonXContentGenerator.writeStartObject(JsonXContentGenerator.java:161) > at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentBuilder.startObject(XContentBuilder.java:217) > at org.elasticsearch.index.get.GetResult.toXContent(GetResult.java:251) > at org.elasticsearch.action.get.GetResponse.toXContent(GetResponse.java:158) > at org.elasticsearch.common.Strings.toString(Strings.java:901) > at org.elasticsearch.action.get.GetResponse.toString(GetResponse.java:197) > at com.living.persistence.repository.elasticsearch.FollowUpActivityRepository.findOne(FollowUpActivityRepository.java:139) > at com.living.rest.services.FollowUpActivityService.categorize(FollowUpActivityService.java:185) > at com.living.rest.endpoints.FollowUpActivityEndpoint.categorize(FollowUpActivityEndpoint.java:102) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) > at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) > .... I've tried to use `_mget` api using http straightforwardly: ``` curl -u elastic:changeme -XGET localhost:9200/index/_mget?pretty -d ' { "docs": [ { "_type": "coll", "_id": "1474c1a0-2540-11e7-9271-0242ac110008" } ] } ' ``` and I'm getting a not exists response: ``` { "docs" : [ { "_index" : "index", "_type" : "coll", "_id" : "1474c1a0-2540-11e7-9271-0242ac110008", "found" : false } ] } ``` However, I've tried to get this document using `get` api: ``` curl -u elastic:changeme -XGET localhost:9200/index/coll/1474c1a0-2540-11e7-9271-0242ac110008?pretty ``` and the response I'm getting is right: ``` { "_index" : "index", "_type" : "coll", "_id" : "1474c1a0-2540-11e7-9271-0242ac110008", "_version" : 1, "_routing" : "user", "found" : true, "_source" : { "user" : "user", "timestamp" : "2017-04-18T22:00:00Z", "startTimestamp" : "2017-04-18T22:00:00Z", "dueTimestamp" : null, "closingTimestamp" : null, "matter" : "Activity 16", "comment" : null, "status" : 20, "backlogStatus" : 20, "metainfos" : { "fbcbeacfbcbeacfbcbeacfbcbeacfbcbaeac" : [ "Project A" ], "fceceacfcedeacfceeeacfcefeacfcfeac" : [ "Example activity" ], "ffceacffceacffceacffceacffceac" : [ "Marketing" ], "efeacefeacefeacefeacefeac" : [ "2017-Q3" ], "ddfceacddfceacddfceacddfceacddfceac" : [ "West" ], "eaaeaceabeaceaceaceadeaceaeeac" : [ "2-Important - Not urgent" ], "eaceeaceaceeaceaceaeaceacebeaceaceceac" : [ "4-Completed" ], "efeeeacefefeaceffeaceffeaceffeac" : [ "Oliver" ] }, "resources" : [], "notes" : null } } ``` Any ideas? ---

Which version of Elasticsearch is this? ---

The version is 5.2. I've restored data from an snapshot made on an ES 2.4. ---

I tried to reproduce by importing a 2.4 index into 5.2, but that did not reproduce the issue. ---

Do you have any ideas to reproduce it? I've simply restored the snapshot. ---
