Same thing happened to me. Just could not make it work. My CouchDB was working Ok, the \_rivers were created, all of it. But nothing. And could not find nobody to give me any orientation. Then I switched to using Elasticsearch + the ScrutMyDocs app. Now, I have some things working, at least I can index documents. 2013/6/18 Jordon [quwu.ustb@gmail.com](mailto:quwu.ustb@gmail.com) > Dear All, > I am new to elasticsearch.

CouchDB river does not read attachment content for now. See [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-couchdb/issues/25](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-couchdb/issues/25) Why this? Because couchDb \_changes API does not provide attachments. So we need to have new round trips to couchDb to index attachments as well.

Sorry, maybe I did not explain myself right. I tried first pushing my documents into CouchDB, and indexing them with Elasticsearch. I could see them from CouchDB, but could not make the CouchDB \_river to index them ( _not_ the file system \_reader). While I was looking for a solution, I came across ScrutMyDocs, and the app were much more close to what I needed. So then I quitted using CouchDB and the CouchDB \_river, and started using StrutMyDocs and the file system \_river. Now I got part of it working, and your help has been very appreciated. Next, I would like to modify ScrutMyDocs (I'm working on that) and to share the new version in GitHub. 2013/6/19 Jordon [quwu.ustb@gmail.com](mailto:quwu.ustb@gmail.com) > Dear David Pilato: > You good job for us to save a lot of time, thank you very much for your > generous help! > > 在 2013年6月19日星期三UTC-4上午4时32分52秒，David Pilato写道： > > > CouchDB river does not read attachment content for now.

I understood that. My remark was more about the fact that you wanted to index binary documents you have on your file system. For that need, you decided to push them in couchDb and add a couchDb river (which does not work due to issue #25). But you could have done it: - manually: read the file system, create JSon with base64 encoded content and push to elasticsearch - using FS River: FS River index documents from your local file system - using scrutmydocs: basically we put all that stuff together in a web app (elasticsearch, fsriver, mapper attachment plugin) About scrutmydocs, just be aware that it's a moving part right now. I will probably release it (0.3.0) in next days/weeks. So please update your own fork on a regular basis as it can move a little.
