Hi, I have this config in my data node: ``` https://gist.github.com/1082725 ``` The "myLatestActivity" script is failing the "my" script is succeeding. This is the error I'm getting: ``` https://gist.github.com/1082738 ``` I am seeing debug of the "MyLatestActivitySorterFactory]" going through, so it is being hit, unfortunately 4 out of the 5 shards are failing for some reason. Best Regards, David. ---

Do you see the failures in the logs? Can you gist those?

Hi Shay, The logs show no exceptions, and only show the logging that I have included as part of my implementation of the AbstractFloatSearchScript. > Are there any log settings that I should loosen up to show exceptions?

Can you log if the factory classes for the scripts are getting created?

Strange..., can you jar up the classes you have, and post it somewhere where I can download it? With the config as well, and a script that recreates the problem.

An update on this. My sorting class was throwing null pointer exceptions on the ElasticSearch Server. Unfortunately, ES swallows all of these errors in its logs and just reports errors with the search. To see what was causing the errors I needed to surround the top level method in my sorting class with a defensive try-catch and the using Log4j / Commons Logging to log my errors, which appear directly in the ElasticSearch console. ---

Was it failing during the call to the script? That should fail and be reported as an error...
