Hello, I'm working on a Java project using spring framework and I have to use elasticsearch to index some documents (pdf, doc ..). I found that mapper-attachment plugin provides a new type 'attachment' which helps in my case.  
The problem is that I haven't found some clear documentation for this plugin to make it work with elasticsearch 2.4.  
Any help is much appreciated
