I have windows 7 32 bit os  
Elastic search is running separately  
Java Version: 1.7.0\_25

I am new to elastic search, I have not made any changes in  
elasticsearch.yml file  
I have added the mapping using chrome plugin sense

Mapping  
gatereader/gate/\_mapping  
{  
"gate" : {  
"\_id":{  
"path":"id"  
},  
"properties": {  
"id" : {"type": "long"},  
"name" : {"type": "string"},  
"description" : {"type": "string"},  
"isActive" : {"type": "boolean"},  
"gateReaderEntityList" :  
{"type": "object",  
"properties": {  
"id" : {"type": "long"},  
"readerName" : {"type": "string"},  
"readerRefName" : {"type": "string"},  
"isActive" : {"type": "boolean"},  
"readerType" : {"type": "string"}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

JSON String:  
{"id":1,"isActive":true,"description":"","name":"gate","gateReaderEntityList":[{"id":1,"isActive":true,"readerRefName":"Reader","readerType":{"readerType":"Exit"},"readerName":"Reader1"},{"id":2,"isActive":true,"readerRefName":"Reader2","readerType":{"readerType":"Exit"},"readerName":"Reader2"},{"id":3,"isActive":true,"readerRefName":"Reader3","readerType":{"readerType":"Exit"},"readerName":"Reader3"},{"id":4,"isActive":true,"readerRefName":"ExReader1","readerType":{"readerType":"Exit"},"readerName":"ExReader1"},{"id":5,"isActive":true,"readerRefName":"ExReader2","readerType":{"readerType":"Exit"},"readerName":"ExReader2"}]}

Java Code:  
Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder().put()  
.put("client.transport.ignore\_cluster\_name", false).build();

```
    Client client = new 

```

TransportClient(settings).addTransportAddress(new  
InetSocketTransportAddress("localhost", 9300));

```
        IndexResponse response1 = client.prepareIndex("gatereader", 

```

"gate", String.valueOf(1))  
.setSource(jsonstring).execute().actionGet();

I am getting exception  
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1

The number of arguments that you are passing to:

```
at 

```

org.elasticsearch.action.index.IndexRequestBuilder.setSource(IndexRequestBuilder.java:209)

must be even, I guess it's an odd number? Can you tell what args you are  
passing to it?

Thanks for the reply,  
I got it working, earlier I was adding the JSON object directly to the  
source now i changed to json string.

I just pushed a better error message for this:
