when I try to install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/3.1.2 for elasticsearch version 2.2.0,  
I got following error:  
ERROR: Plugin [mapper-attachments] is incompatible with Elasticsearch [2.2.0]. Was designed for version [2.1.2]

so which version should be used for elasticsearch version 2.2.0?

I tried installing a plugin (on 1 windows box) mapper-attachments plugin on ES 1.7: plugin.bat install mapper-attachments  
(also from zip file too as well as unzipping and placing the contents in plugins/mapper-attachments)

The error I get:
