Having difficulty indexing an attachment type in _elasticsearch_ via the \* Tire\* gem. Not able to set attachment type correctly. I'm sure it's a syntax error or some other misunderstanding on my part. Attachments plugin is installed as per [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments). Hoping someone can set me straight! _#app/models/article.rb_ class Article \< ActiveRecord::Base include Tire::Model::Search include Tire::Model::Callbacks attr\_accessible :title, :content, :published\_on, :filename mapping do indexes :id, :type =\>'integer' indexes :title indexes :content indexes :published\_on, :type =\> 'date' indexes :attachment, :type =\> 'attachment' end def to\_indexed\_json to\_json(:methods =\> [:attachment]) end def attachment if filename.present? path\_to\_pdf = "/Volumes/Disk41402/test\_proj/sample\_pdfs/#{filename}.pdf" Base64.encode64(open(path\_to\_pdf) { |pdf| pdf.read }) end end end Log shows a No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [attachment] error when I try to re-index with $ rake environment tire:import CLASS=Article FORCE=true Log output: [2012-06-28 22:33:18,269][DEBUG][indices] [Solarr] deleting Index [articles] [2012-06-28 22:33:18,270][DEBUG][index.cache.filter.weighted] [Solarr] [articles] full cache clear, reason [close] [2012-06-28 22:33:18,270][DEBUG][index.cache.field.data.resident] [Solarr] [articles] full cache clear, reason [close] [2012-06-28 22:33:18,271][WARN][cluster.metadata] [Solarr] [articles] _failed to create_ org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: mapping [article] at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataCreateIndexService$1.execute(MetaDataCreateIndexService.java:263) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.InternalClusterService$2.run(InternalClusterService.java:211) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) Caused by: org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: _No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [attachment]_ at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper$TypeParser.parseProperties(ObjectMapper.java:259) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper$TypeParser.parse(ObjectMapper.java:217) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapperParser.parse(DocumentMapperParser.java:161) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.parse(MapperService.java:271) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.add(MapperService.java:174) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataCreateIndexService$1.execute(MetaDataCreateIndexService.java:260) ---

Your plugin is not well setup. When you start ES, you should see the attachment plugin in the plugin list loaded by ES. So, have a look again at the README file in the plugin Git repo. You need to restart ES.
