Hi,  
I have installed the FSRiver and mapper attachments in my ES.  
I have run the following script, But it always showing No handler for type  
[attachment] declared on field [file] error.  
I try all the solutions from internet. But it's not working for me. Can any  
one help me.

The Example:

PUT:  
[http://localhost:9200/mydocs/](http://localhost:9200/mydocs/)  
{  
"doc": {  
"properties": {  
"file": {  
"type": "attachment",  
"path": "full",  
"fields": {  
"file": {  
"type": "string",  
"store": "yes",  
"term\_vector": "with\_positions\_offsets"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

PUT:  
[http://localhost:9200/\_river/mydocs/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/mydocs/_meta)  
{  
"type": "fs",  
"fs": {  
"url": "/home/likewise-open/ashwin\_raj/Desktop/Folder",  
"update\_rate": 900000,  
"includes": "_.doc,_.pdf",  
"excludes": "resume"  
}  
}

Actually my requirement is indexing the folder.
