I am having an issue on one of my servers, I have updated the mapping file in '/elasticsearch/data/config/templates' and I cleared the index, but when I try and index a document I complains that one of the analyzers is missing. It seems like some old mapping file is cached somewhere and it is using that instead of the new one I just installed. I tried the same set up locally - same mapping file and indexed the same json - and it worked OK. Does anyone know what is going on here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hello! OK. Is you server in a cluster? If so, did you put the updated templates on all nodes that can work as master? I assume that the path you've shown is the proper one for config. _--_ Regards, Rafał Kuć Sematext :: [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) _:: Solr - Lucene - ElasticSearch_ I deleted the index.

Something else that is odd. After I delete the index, I tried to query the index and instead of giving me an Exception saying the index doesn't exist it returns an empty result. Something is creating an index with the index name I am using.

Thanks for your response. No, it is not part of a cluster, it is an ES instance with the same configurations that come OOTB. The only custom config is my mapping file. Yes, that is is the correct path, it works on my other servers. On Friday, October 4, 2013 12:21:30 PM UTC+1, Rafał Kuć wrote: > Hello! > > OK. Is you server in a cluster?
