Hi ,

I am seeing this error when replica is set to 0.  
With replica =1 its working fine.

Mapping command - [https://gist.github.com/2005810](https://gist.github.com/2005810)  
Query command - [https://gist.github.com/2005820](https://gist.github.com/2005820)  
Error message - [https://gist.github.com/2005802](https://gist.github.com/2005802)  
Version - 0.19

Strange things when the error strike is that , only 1 shard produces the  
error and result is harnessed from others.

Thanks  
Vineeth

You end up putting both mappings under attachment (in the URL)?

But then , i didn't get why only 1 shard exhibited the strange behavior.

Thanks
