Hi

I am trying percolation

Below is what I have indexed.  
{  
"\_index": "my\_index",  
"\_type": ".percolator",  
"\_id": "AVhIEWHa89Gnz7pd0EQc",  
"\_version": 1,  
"found": true,  
"\_source": {  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [{  
"match": {  
"candidate": {  
"query": "ABC",  
"type": "boolean"  
}  
}  
}]  
}  
},  
"documentId": "6017:6066:d59defa4c6dc4552a2be5d9b3c66a47c",  
"status": "Open"  
}  
}

Now I need to search over multiple documentId.

{"percolate" : {"index" : "spire\_4", "type" : "candidate", "id" : "6017:6005:aba6e2059d4c4993b7c8f7221c3429ee" } }  
{"highlight":{"fields":{"skill":{} }},"size":5, "query": {"bool": { "filter": { "terms": { "requisitionId": ["6017:6066:d59defa4c6dc4552a2be5d9b3c66a47c"] } } } } }  
{"percolate" : {"index" : "spire\_4", "type" : "candidate", "id" : "6017:6005:2f9b8d2694fb4a8eb19a14e666c47021" } }  
{"highlight":{"fields":{"skill":{} }},"size":5, "query": {"bool": { "filter": { "terms": { "requisitionId": ["6017:6066:d59defa4c6dc4552a2be5d9b3c66a47c"] } } } } }

my query is like above. But this is throwing error.

"reason": {  
"type": "parse\_exception",  
"reason": "failed to parse request",  
"caused\_by": {  
"type": "no\_class\_def\_found\_error",  
"reason": "Could not initialize class org.apache.lucene.queries.TermsQuery"  
}

Please help.

Thanks  
Nisar

You setup queries separately first and then percolate the documents.

The code is not very readable. List your queries and then show how you are percolating. Looks like the documents you want to send for percolation is in an index so show the mappings of the index and docs you want to send for percolation.
