Hi ! i try to go my firststeps by elasticsearch because i want to use for a local mediawiki search on a win7 64bit machine. current i look at a video tutorial on youtube called "getting started with elasticsearch". current i unzip the installation file and start the batch-file. in the film (8:15) now some example-data will test in fiddler. i write the example-data _{ "name":"Joes", "description":"best pasta", "address":{ "street":"mainstreet", "city":"los angeles", "state":"CA", "zip":"90013", }, "location":[34,-118], "tags":["ital","spagetti","pasta"], "rating":"4.5"}_ an paste into the _Request Body-field,_ set the combo to\* POST\* and click \*Execute. \*in the film the log-field show the result 201 -\>OK. in my installation i get the result 400! when i look into the running process window of elasticsearch 1.4.4 (cmd-window) there will following be logged: _[2015-02-24 08:54:25,369][DEBUG][action.index] [Mariko Yashida] [places][4], node[rgiQnV\_FRme4oiigE0zc7Q], [P], s[STARTED]: Failed to execute [index {[places][restaurant][AUu6lHDZ\_PQl5sOyj-WQ], source[{ "name":"Joes", "description":"best pasta", "address":{ "street":"mainstreet", "city":"los angeles", "state":"CA", "zip":"90013", }, "location":[34,-118], "tags":["ital","spagetti","pasta"], "rating":"4.5"}]}]org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: failed to parse at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapper.parse(DocumentMapper.java:563) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapper.parse(DocumentMapper.java:491) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.service.InternalIndexShard.prepareCreate(InternalIndexShard.java:392) at org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.shardOperationOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:198) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction.performOnPrimary(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:512) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction$1.run(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:419) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)Caused by: org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unexpectedcharacter ('}' (code 125)): was expecting either valid name character (for unquoted name) or double-quote (for quoted) to start field name at [Source: [B@a2bc760; line: 9, column: 3] at org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.JsonParser.\_constructError(JsonParser.java:1419) at org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.base.ParserMinimalBase.\_reportError(ParserMinimalBase.java:508) at org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.base.ParserMinimalBase.\_reportUnexpectedChar(ParserMinimalBase.java:437) at org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.\_handleOddName(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:1808) at org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.\_parseName(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:1496) at org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.nextToken(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:693) at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.json.JsonXContentParser.nextToken(JsonXContentParser.java:51) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.parse(ObjectMapper.java:502) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.putDynamicMapper(ObjectMapper.java:663) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.serializeObject(ObjectMapper.java:583) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.parse(ObjectMapper.java:490) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapper.parse(DocumentMapper.java:542) ... 8 more_ i am local admin and the result is independ of start the bat at normal user (admin right) or via kontextmenue _start as admin_. could someone help me ? reagards Jan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, The problem is that the last field in your `address` object (the `zip` field) ends with a `,` character. This means it is not valid JSON and fails to be parsed by elasticsearch. If you remove the `,` character from that line your request should work. Hope that helps, Colin On Tuesday, 24 February 2015 09:15:23 UTC, jan99 wrote: > Hi ! > > i try to go my firststeps by elasticsearch because i want to use for a > local mediawiki search on a win7 64bit machine. current i look at a video > tutorial on youtube called "getting started with elasticsearch". > > current i unzip the installation file and start the batch-file. in the > film (8:15) now some example-data will test in fiddler. i write the > example-data > > _{ "name":"Joes", "description":"best > pasta", "address":{ "street":"mainstreet", "city":"los > angeles", "state":"CA", "zip":"90013", }, "location":[34,-118], "tags":["ital","spagetti","pasta"], "rating":"4.5"}_ > > an paste into the _Request Body-field,_ set the combo to\* POST\* and click \*Execute. > \*in the film the log-field show the result 201 -\>OK. in my installation i > get the result 400! > > when i look into the running process window of elasticsearch 1.4.4 > (cmd-window) there will following be logged: > > _[2015-02-24 08:54:25,369][DEBUG][action.index] [Mariko > Yashida] [places][4], node[rgiQnV\_FRme4oiigE0zc7Q], [P], s[STARTED]: Failed > to execute [index {[places][restaurant][AUu6lHDZ\_PQl5sOyj-WQ], > source[{ "name":"Joes", "description":"best pasta", > "address":{ > "street":"mainstreet", "city":"los > angeles", "state":"CA", > "zip":"90013", }, "location":[34,-118], > "tags":["ital","spagetti","pasta"], > "rating":"4.5"}]}]org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: > failed to parse at > org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapper.parse(DocumentMapper.java:563) > at > org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapper.parse(DocumentMapper.java:491) > at > org.elasticsearch.index.shard.service.InternalIndexShard.prepareCreate(InternalIndexShard.java:392) > at > org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.shardOperationOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:198) > at > org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction.performOnPrimary(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:512) > at > org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction$1.run(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:419) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown > Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)Caused by: > org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.JsonParseException: > Unexpectedcharacter ('}' (code 125)): was expecting either valid name > character (for unquoted name) or double-quote (for quoted) to start field > name at [Source: [B@a2bc760; line: 9, column: 3] at > org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.JsonParser.\_constructError(JsonParser.java:1419) > at > org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.base.ParserMinimalBase.\_reportError(ParserMinimalBase.java:508) > at > org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.base.ParserMinimalBase.\_reportUnexpectedChar(ParserMinimalBase.java:437) > at > org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.\_handleOddName(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:1808) > at > org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.\_parseName(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:1496) > at > org.elasticsearch.common.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.nextToken(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:693) > at > org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.json.JsonXContentParser.nextToken(JsonXContentParser.java:51) > at > org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.parse(ObjectMapper.java:502) > at > org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.putDynamicMapper(ObjectMapper.java:663) > at > org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.serializeObject(ObjectMapper.java:583) > at > org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.object.ObjectMapper.parse(ObjectMapper.java:490) > at > org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapper.parse(DocumentMapper.java:542) > ... 8 more_ > > i am local admin and the result is independ of start the bat at normal > user (admin right) or via kontextmenue _start as admin_. > > could someone help me ? > > reagards Jan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi ! thanks for show the mistake - successfull! but now the next steps make a problem - in the film as 10:15. the next-test-step is to search data. i change the url in fiddler to [http://localhost:9200/places/restaurant/\_search](http://localhost:9200/places/restaurant/_search) (combo POST) and in the Request Body-field i paste _{ "query:{ "match\_all":{} }}_ but now the protokoll logs error 400 again ! did you have a new idea against ? regards jan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

This is another typo, your `query` field does not have a " character after it.
