Hi, I just started to look at ES and here is what i did - Started the server and used curl to create a couple of indexes following the samples on the web site - Created a java class and used the API to try to connect to the server and get my indexes previously created. Client client = new TransportClient() .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("localhost", 9300)); Then i tried to get an index previously created GetResponse response = client.prepareGet("twitter", "tweet", "1") .execute() .actionGet(); I get this error Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: [Living Monolith][inet[/127.0.0.1:9300]][indices/get] Caused by: java.io.EOFException at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.ChannelBufferStreamInput.readByte(ChannelBufferStreamInput.java:112) at org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.HandlesStreamInput.readByte(HandlesStreamInput.java:80) at org.elasticsearch.action.get.GetRequest.readFrom(GetRequest.java:232) Is there something wrong with what i am doing ? ---
