Hi, I'm using Java API in a JUnit test to evaluate elasticsearch. Problem is I can't get any search results... getting document by id works fine but I see that the fields are not populated...even after explicitly mapping one the fields. is this the reason why I get totalHits=0? wrong mapping? I can post the code if needed. thanks stelios P.S. I'm using 0.14.2 version ---

OK I don't get results since I don't have fields. Is this the correct way of mapping the document I've indexed? * * * XContentBuilder data = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder() .startObject().startObject("properties") .startObject("name") .field("type", "string") .field("index", "not\_analyzed") .field("store", "yes") .endObject() .endObject().endObject(); ``` CreateIndexResponse mapping = client.admin().indices().create( createIndexRequest("resource").mapping("file", data) ).actionGet(); ``` ## and he is the indexed document IndexResponse resp = client.prepareIndex("resource", "file", "1") .setSource(builder.startObject() .field("name", "findMe") .field("postDate", new Date()) .field("message", "trying out Elastic Search") .endObject()) .execute().actionGet(); Thanks Stelios ---

Problem was how I created the mapping, jsonBuilder... creating it as a string and putting it the same way works fine... ---

Hard to tell, if you can gist your simple test class, I can have a look.
