I am using ES Hadoop Spark plugin. I have set and am running the following... ``` val conf = new SparkConf() .setAppName(this.getClass.getSimpleName) .set("spark.app.id", "1") .set("es.nodes", ConfigHelper.elasticHost) .set("es.index.read.missing.as.empty", "yes") val sc = new SparkContext(conf) sc.esJsonRDD("index1, index2", queryString) ... ``` And it throws ``` [index2] IndexNotFoundException[no such index] at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.IndexNameExpressionResolver$WildcardExpressionResolver.resolve(IndexNameExpressionResolver.java:586) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.IndexNameExpressionResolver.concreteIndices(IndexNameExpressionResolver.java:133) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.IndexNameExpressionResolver.concreteIndices(IndexNameExpressionResolver.java:113) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchTypeAction$BaseAsyncAction.(TransportSearchTypeAction.java:121) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction$AsyncAction.(TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction.java:73) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction$AsyncAction.(TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction.java:67) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction.doExecute(TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction.java:64) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction.doExecute(TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction.java:53) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.TransportAction.execute(TransportAction.java:70) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.TransportSearchAction.doExecute(TransportSearchAction.java:99) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.TransportSearchAction.doExecute(TransportSearchAction.java:44) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.TransportAction.execute(TransportAction.java:70) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.HandledTransportAction$TransportHandler.messageReceived(HandledTransportAction.java:45) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.HandledTransportAction$TransportHandler.messageReceived(HandledTransportAction.java:41) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.MessageChannelHandler.handleRequest(MessageChannelHandler.java:244) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.MessageChannelHandler.messageReceived(MessageChannelHandler.java:114) at org.jboss.netty.channel.SimpleChannelUpstreamHandler.handleUpstream(SimpleChannelUpstreamHandler.java:70) at org.jboss.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.sendUpstream(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:564) at org.jboss.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline$DefaultChannelHandlerContext.sendUpstream(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:791) at org.jboss.netty.channel.Channels.fireMessageReceived(Channels.java:296) at org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.frame.FrameDecoder.unfoldAndFireMessageReceived(FrameDecoder.java:462) at org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.frame.FrameDecoder.callDecode(FrameDecoder.java:443) at org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.frame.FrameDecoder.messageReceived(FrameDecoder.java:303) at org.jboss.netty.channel.SimpleChannelUpstreamHandler.handleUpstream(SimpleChannelUpstreamHandler.java:70) at org.jboss.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.sendUpstream(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:564) at org.jboss.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline$DefaultChannelHandlerContext.sendUpstream(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:791) at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.OpenChannelsHandler.handleUpstream(OpenChannelsHandler.java:75) at org.jboss.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.sendUpstream(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:564) at org.jboss.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.sendUpstream(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:559) at org.jboss.netty.channel.Channels.fireMessageReceived(Channels.java:268) at org.jboss.netty.channel.Channels.fireMessageReceived(Channels.java:255) at org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioWorker.read(NioWorker.java:88) at org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.AbstractNioWorker.process(AbstractNioWorker.java:108) at org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.AbstractNioSelector.run(AbstractNioSelector.java:337) at org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.AbstractNioWorker.run(AbstractNioWorker.java:89) at org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioWorker.run(NioWorker.java:178) at org.jboss.netty.util.ThreadRenamingRunnable.run(ThreadRenamingRunnable.java:108) at org.jboss.netty.util.internal.DeadLockProofWorker$1.run(DeadLockProofWorker.java:42) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) ``` Weird... Wouldn't `("es.index.read.missing.as.empty", "yes")` make it not throwing the exception? I've even tried with `("es.index.read.missing.as.empty", "true")`, and it throws the same. Any idea? ---

Do you get the exception with your spark app or not? The setting is only available in ES-Hadoop to make it ignore non-existing indices. ---

The exception comes from the following line of code. ``` sc.esJsonRDD("index1, index2", queryString) ``` Isn't this from ES-Hadoop? ---

It does - wanted to verify. Can you please raise an issue - it looks like a bug. Thanks! ---
