FSCrawler: Error while crawling - Invalid UTF-8 start byte 0xb5

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi @dadoonet,

I'v installed "fscrawler-es7-2.7-SNAPSHOT" .
I'v created a PDF from MS Word with simple text.
Here is a snapshot:

Now i'v placed it in a folder structure such as:
image

My configuration in yaml:

---
name: "hvr"
fs:
  url: "F:\\root_folder_in_snapshot"
  update_rate: "1m"
  excludes:
  - "*/~*"
  json_support: false
  filename_as_id: false
  add_filesize: true
  remove_deleted: true
  add_as_inner_object: false
  store_source: false
  index_content: true
  attributes_support: true
  raw_metadata: false
  xml_support: true
  index_folders: true
  lang_detect: false
  continue_on_error: false
  ocr:
    language: "eng"
    enabled: true
    pdf_strategy: "ocr_and_text"
    path: "F:\\Tesseract-OCR"
  follow_symlinks: false
elasticsearch:
  nodes:
  - url: "myelasticurl"
  bulk_size: 100
  flush_interval: "5s"
  byte_size: "10mb"

But i end up with this error:

Any help will be appreciated.

Apologies, the issue was because of the

"xml_support: true"

Great that you found what the problem was and shared the solution. I meant when we spoke on Github that you open a new issue on Github, not specifically here but that's fine as it's not lost anywhere. :wink:

For your next post, please don't post images of text as they are hard to read, may not display correctly for everyone, and are not searchable.

Actually i seem to have bumped into another error:

Do i need to create a elasticsearch schema mapping prior to crawling data to an index?

This probably means that the index has been created before FSCrawler started. And created with an incompatible mapping. If you don't want to do anything specific with the mapping and you don't care of the existing data, just delete the index:

DELETE hvr*

And restart FSCrawler:

bin/fscrawler hvr --restart
