Hi, I'm trying to integrate mongodb with elasticsearch and for some
reason I cant seem to get this working. I think there's something
messed up with the version number combination I'm using - mongodb-
linux 64 2.0.4 , elasticsearch 0.19.0 with the elasticsearch-river-
mongdb jar version being 1.1 and the mongo-java-driver version being
2.7.2. It seems to create the indices when I bring elasticsearch up
but I cant insert a record , following the example given by
richardwilly98, it just hangs and there's no response when i run
db.person.save(p) on the mongotest db. Could someone please tell me
where I'm going wrong and if you've got this working could you please
tell me the version numbers that you're using? Thanks!

You will do 2 things:
1. open the oplog of mongodb.
2. indexname is 'mongoindex', not the example's 'testmongo'.
Good Luck. 🙂

Just an update, I got this working now, I was using an older version of
mongo. 2.0.4 works for me, thanks

It's preferable to open a new question and if needed link to existing posts.
