Hi everybody, im newbie and i try use logstash, elasticsearch to  
Search in my Web. One error appear and i dont know how to fix it.  
Pls help me , thanks you!  
i tried config file .conf look like this ,it work normal , my databse appear in my plugin /head

# file: simple-out.conf

input {  
jdbc {  
jdbc\_connection\_string =\> "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/Test"  
jdbc\_user =\> "postgres"  
jdbc\_password =\>"lovely19"  
jdbc\_validate\_connection =\> true  
jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "/home/ngocpt/Downloads/postgresql-9.4-1202.jdbc4.jar"  
jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "org.postgresql.Driver"  
statement =\> "SELECT \* from users"  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
protocol =\> http  
index =\> "users"  
document\_type =\> "user"  
document\_id =\> "%{id}"  
host =\> "localhost"  
}  
}

But after i tried mapping one field with analyzer before run logstash index database, i get error.  
my mapping look like this:  
curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/users/](http://localhost:9200/users/)" -d'  
{  
"mappings": {  
"user": {  
"properties": {  
"password" : {  
"analyzer" : "vi\_analyzer",  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"user\_name" : {  
"analyzer" : "vi\_analyzer",  
"type" : "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

Here is my error

The Elasticsearch logs probably contain additional clues.
