Hi All,
I configured elastic search to use search and visualize the hadoop log
files.
I have hadoop cluster with 8 nodes and i use eco systems Hive/Pig to push
the log files to elastic search.
I configured elastic search successfully(single node) and i started kibana
as well.
When i try to run a sample Hive scripts which was given in elastic search
site. iam getting the following error.
hive\> select \* from artists;
OK
Failed with exception java.io.IOException:java.lang.IllegalException:Index
[radio/artists] missing and settings [es.field.read.empty.as.null] is set
to false
Time taken 0.348 seconds
hive\>
Can somebody help me to fix this issue?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Muthu
