Hi when i am building index using rabbitmq river, multiple threads are publishing message into same queue with same index but different index type,i am getting following exception : [2012-04-26 18:31:57,636][DEBUG][action.bulk] [Coral] [idx\_masterdatabase][2]: Failed to execute bulk item (index) [index {[idx\_masterdatabase][type\_test2][1], source[{ "type\_test2" :{"id": 1,"Description":"A computer is a programmable machine designed to sequentially and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical operations"}}]}] java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeSource.cloneAttributes(AttributeSource.java: 542) at org.apache.lucene.analysis.shingle.ShingleFilter.getNextToken(ShingleFilter.java: 356) at org.apache.lucene.analysis.shingle.ShingleFilter.shiftInputWindow(ShingleFilter.java: 415) at org.apache.lucene.analysis.shingle.ShingleFilter.incrementToken(ShingleFilter.java: 284) at org.apache.lucene.analysis.snowball.SnowballFilter.incrementToken(SnowballFilter.java: 76) at org.apache.lucene.analysis.fr.ElisionFilter.incrementToken(ElisionFilter.java: 121) at org.elasticsearch.index.analysis.phonetic.PhoneticFilter.incrementToken(PhoneticFilter.java: 61) at org.apache.lucene.index.DocInverterPerField.processFields(DocInverterPerField.java: 132) at org.apache.lucene.index.DocFieldProcessorPerThread.processDocument(DocFieldProcessorPerThread.java: 248) at org.apache.lucene.index.DocumentsWriter.updateDocument(DocumentsWriter.java: 701) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.addDocument(IndexWriter.java: 2042) at org.elasticsearch.index.engine.robin.RobinEngine.innerIndex(RobinEngine.java: 459) at org.elasticsearch.index.engine.robin.RobinEngine.index(RobinEngine.java: 374) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.service.InternalIndexShard.index(InternalIndexShard.java: 292) at org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.TransportShardBulkAction.shardOperationOnPrimary(TransportShardBulkAction.java: 131) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction $AsyncShardOperationAction.performOnPrimary(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java: 418) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction $AsyncShardOperationAction.access $100(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:233) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction $AsyncShardOperationAction $1.run(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:331) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor $Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor $Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) This Exception is not thrown by piece of code only prints in elastic server log, thus i am not able to catch it.Is there any way to handle this exception in client program.? And what could be possible reason for the above exception? ---

Not sure why this failure happens..., can you try and recreate it in a standalone index operation?
