Hi,

I am trying to create a ingest pipeline using below PUT request:  
{  
"description": "ContentExtractor",  
"processors": [  
{  
"extractor": {  
"field": "contentData",  
"target\_field": "content"  
}  
}  
]  
}

But this is resulting in following error:  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "not\_x\_content\_exception",  
"reason": "Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes"  
}  
],  
"type": "not\_x\_content\_exception",  
"reason": "Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes"  
},  
"status": 500  
}

I see below exception in ES logs:  
org.elasticsearch.common.compress.NotXContentException: Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes  
at org.elasticsearch.common.compress.CompressorFactory.compressor(CompressorFactory.java:57) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.2.jar:5.1.2]  
at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentHelper.convertToMap(XContentHelper.java:65) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.2.jar:5.1.2]  
at org.elasticsearch.ingest.PipelineStore.validatePipeline(PipelineStore.java:154) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.2.jar:5.1.2]  
at org.elasticsearch.ingest.PipelineStore.put(PipelineStore.java:133) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.2.jar:5.1.2]

This problem happening when Elasticsearch is running in Solaris, same request works fine in case of Linux. What am I doing wrong? Can somebody help me to fix this issue?

I do not know anything about this issue, but would recommend against trying to run Elasticsearch on Solaris as [it is not a supported platform](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix). If you try you are likely to run into issues that very few people can help you with.

Oh, never bothered to check this but I should have done it first. Thanks a lot for your inputs.
