Hi All,

I am new to ES and Mapper-attachment. I am trying to index a pdf into ES.

I have tried out some codes that are available in Web but giving me following error each time:

_{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [content]"}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse mapping [document]: No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [content]","caused\_by":{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [content]"}},"status":400}_

Please let me know if I have missed anything for this.

Thanks in advance..

First guesses:

- You did not install the plugin
- You did not restart the nodes

Hi David,

Any other guess please!!

I meant full logs from the restart.

Regret that I am unable to do that as I have to request the logs from server team and they refused to give the whole document.

Any other workaround for this?

Yes. Install the plugin and restart the nodes.

2 things:

- it's not all the logs. I'm missing the beginning.
- the error here is not the same. You have an error in your index creation

So please give all the logs. You can use [gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com) to share them. And paste the full request you made which generates this error (if needed).

the above code is to read json file into ES index.  
I hope these are the logs you wanted as i got this only.

I will post the logs and details of pdf indexing attempt too..

Thanks!!

Please use a better formatting. Select the full lines before hitting the `</>` button.

Is obvious. You have a problem using CURL. You need to check that.

Hi David,

Just out of curiosity, we are working on  
Ubuntu version : 14.04  
Elastic Search: 2.1.2  
Mapper- Attachment: 3.1.2  
Java version: 1.8.0 \_91

Is there any particular compatibility check of any type for Mapper-Attachment?

Hi Tamanna,

Just let you know another alternative here. You could use Apache Tika to read, extract text from PDF and index it by yourself. That's would be around 10 lines of code. As I understand it, this ES plugin actually uses Tika internally.

Thanks,  
Cody
