Hello I am trying to use the FSRiver plugin for elastic search to index a  
directory of documents. So far I have downloaded to zip on my mac. Used  
FileZilla to put the files on the linux machine. Then I created a river.  
This is the syntax I put in:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/historicdata/ -d '{  
"type": "fs",  
"fs": {  
"url": "~/elkdata",  
},  
"index": {  
"index": "historicdata",  
"type": "documents",  
"bulk\_size": 25,  
"flush\_interval": "30s"  
}  
}'

this went through and gave me an acknowledge: true and it created my index  
but when I go to search nothing is in the index. The reason I didn't put  
localhost:9200/historicdata/documents/ -d .... is because when I did it  
told me the handler was unknown.  
Then I tried installing FSRiver so I put this in:  
python3 release.py  
Output:  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File "/home/aharmon/fsriver-master/plugin\_tools/build\_release.py", line  
23, in   
import github3  
ImportError: No module named 'github3'

I think this might be my issue but here is my search syntax below to make  
sure that that isn't what it is.

Search syntax I used:  
curl -XGET localhost:9200/historicdata/\_search?v  
Output:  
{ "took": 41, "timed\_out": false, "\_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5,  
"failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 0, "max\_score": null, "hits": []}}

I also tried this:  
curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/historicdata/docs/\_search?q=docs:](http://localhost:9200/historicdata/docs/_search?q=docs:) \*.doc'  
Output:  
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

I don't think its my search syntax because when I run this:  
curl 'localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v'  
Output:  
health index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted  
store.size pri.store.size  
yellow historicdata 5 1 0 0  
575b 575b

This is saying that my index has no documents. If anyone has seen this  
before please let me know.

Thank you,  
Austin Harmon
