Hi All, We are trying to create indices with below name format _testindex\_16161\_1396381784242_ Till elasticsearch-0.90.2, we are able to create indices with this naming convention. When i try to create to index with same name as above mentioned in elasticsearch-0.90.5, i get below exception: [2014-04-01 18:17:41,683][DEBUG][action.admin.indices.create] [node0] [testindex\_16161\_1396375678203] failed to create java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1396375678203" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:461) at java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Integer.java:554) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.routing.RoutingIndexSorter$ShardComparator.compare(RoutingIndexSorter.java:89) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.routing.RoutingIndexSorter$ShardComparator.compare(RoutingIndexSorter.java:82) at org.apache.lucene.util.CollectionUtil$ListIntroSorter.compare(CollectionUtil.java:64) at org.apache.lucene.util.Sorter.insertionSort(Sorter.java:169) at org.apache.lucene.util.IntroSorter.quicksort(IntroSorter.java:46) at org.apache.lucene.util.IntroSorter.sort(IntroSorter.java:41) at org.apache.lucene.util.CollectionUtil.introSort(CollectionUtil.java:137) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.routing.RoutingIndexSorter.getSortedList(RoutingIndexSorter.java:57) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.routing.RoutingNodes.unassigned(RoutingNodes.java:232) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.routing.allocation.AllocationService.reroute(AllocationService.java:154) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataCreateIndexService$2.execute(MetaDataCreateIndexService.java:359) at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.InternalClusterService$UpdateTask.run(InternalClusterService.java:299) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor$TieBreakingPrioritizedRunnable.run(PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor.java:135) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:895) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:918) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) If i remove some digits to short the index name for example _testindex\_16161\_1396381_ and then try to create, in that case i am able to create index successfully. Is there any limit on index name in elasticsearch-0.90.5, if not how can i resolve this issue? -- _Thanks & Regards_ _Hanish Bansal_ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Can you show how you create the index? I just tried this on 0.90.5 and it seemed to work for me: $ curl -XPUT localhost:9200/testindex\_16161\_1396381784242 {"ok":true,"acknowledged":true} -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Binh, I was also using same call as you mentioned. I found the issue, actually few months back i applied a custom plugin in my elastic-search and just forgot about that. Now i tried with fresh elastic-search and its working fine. Thanks for your response !!
