Hi, I installed elastic search 5.0.1 in Unix and installed 'ingest\_Attachment\_5.0.1' (Also restarted after ingest attachment installation). I created an index using command : curl -X PUT 10.242.104.46:9200/test1. Then when i tried creating mapping, i got an error as shown below. Please help to resolve this, curl -XPUT '[http://10.242.104.46:9200/test1/person/\_mapping](http://10.242.104.46:9200/test1/person/_mapping)' -d '{ "person": { "properties": { "file": { "type": "attachment", "path": "full", "fields": { "file": { "type": "string", "term\_vector":"with\_positions\_offsets", "store": true } } } } } }' {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [file]"}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [file]"},"status":400}. ---

Please format your code using `` icon. It will make your post more readable. Ingest does not provide a new type of field. Just follow the guide here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/using-ingest-attachment.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/using-ingest-attachment.html) ---

May be use something like: [http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp](http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp) On Linux may be: ```auto base64 yourfile.pdf ``` Also have a look at [https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler](https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler) ---
