I am using ES 2.4 with Mapper Attachment Plugin.

I am indexing publications, some of them have attachments and some of them don't. I am assuming that is why mapper attachment is complaining "No content is provided" as it "may be" looking for attachments for every single publication. Is there any work around?

Please please advise!
