I have installed ingest attachment plugin to my elasticsearch server and I am using Java API. What should I do to index my document?  
I don't have any AttachmentProcessor in elasticsearch.jar.

You don't need any `AttachmentProcessor` class in a client.

You need to:

- Define a pipeline which uses an attachment processor. You can do this using REST (curl or Kibana Dev Console)
- Send a binary document which content has been serialized to BASE64, which is something you can do with a "normal" index API operation.
