I am trying to install mapper-attachments for es 2.3.1. if follow [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-attachments.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-attachments.html) it would install mapper-attachments 2.3.1 (same as es). but here [GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments: Mapper Attachments Type plugin for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments) looks the version are different. if I need to install from the later link, what does this mean? > 2.1 elasticsearch repository github? I tried to install the plugin from the zip file elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-master.zip, it said NOTE: Unable to verify checksum for downloaded plugin (unable to find .sha1 or .md5 file to verify) ERROR: Could not find plugin descriptor 'plugin-descriptor.properties' in plugin zip so a little confusing.. thanks! ---

Just read the guide (the first link you provided). [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-attachments.html#mapper-attachments-install](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-attachments.html#mapper-attachments-install) If you read the very first lines of the README in the GitHub repo you would see also the link to this guide. ---

Very wired here. here is my env: [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes/plugins?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_nodes/plugins?pretty) ``` { "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch", "nodes" : { "hYCvRc1yQSK3BoClf5C5zQ" : { "name" : "Destroyer of Demons", "transport_address" : "127.0.0.1:9300", "host" : "127.0.0.1", "ip" : "127.0.0.1", "version" : " **2.3.1"** , "build" : "bd98092", "http_address" : "127.0.0.1:9200", "plugins" : [ { "name" : " **mapper-attachments**", "version" : **"2.3.1",** ... } ], ``` mapping is: ``` "tech": { "mappings": { "manual": { "properties": { "file": { "type": "attachment", "fields": { "content": { "type": "string" }, "author": { "type": "string" }, " **title**": { "type": "string", "store": true }, " **name**": { "type": "string" }, "date": { "type": "string", "store": true }, " **keywords**": { "type": "string", "store": true }, " **content_type**": { "type": "string", "store": true }, "content_length": { "type": "string", "store": true }, " **language**": { "type": "string", "store": true } } } } } ``` I am able to see the content of the indexed document: ``` "_source": { "file": { "_content": "JVBERi0xLjcNJeLjz9MNCg==M......=ZW5kc3RyZWFtDWVuZG9iag1zdGFydHhyZWYNCg==MTE2DQo=JSVFT0YNCg==" "_name": "12-240.pdf", "_title": "12-240.pdf", "_keywords": "Div42 Src580 LGE Mechtech", "_language": "en", "_content_type": "pdf" } ``` but when I search ``` curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/tech/manual/_search" -d' { "fields": ["file.content_type", "file.title", "file.keywords", "file.language", "file.name"], "query": { "match_all": {} } }' ``` the response has no file.keywords, file.language, and [file.name](http://file.name) as follow, I also can't search on these fields. ``` "hits": { "total": 1, "max_score": 0.30685282, "hits": [ { "_index": "tech", "_type": "manual", "_id": "AVPx8cRH4bGZ_KKaUS0y", "_score": 0.30685282, "fields": { "file.content_type": [ "pdf" ], "file.title": [ "12-240" ] } } ] } ``` what's possible not right?

Thank you for reporting. I was able to reproduce it with a Java test in master branch. **EDIT** : actually we never implemented or documented that: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-attachments-usage.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-attachments-usage.html) The only values you can force are `_content_type`, `_name` and `_language`. Not that the later only works if you set `index.mapping.attachment.detect_language: true`. ---

I added this [PR](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/17612) to get this fully covered by a test. Note that mapper-attachments is deprecated in 5.0.0 so people should then use [ingest-attachment plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/master/ingest-attachment.html) instead. ---

Thanks dadoonet! I got it. Yes thought to get things to work before going to 5.0.0. ---

Why hacking an old thread? What did you try so far? Did you read the plugin documentation which explains how to install it? ---

If you copy and paste from the doc it should work. mapper not mapping is probably your problem here. ---
