Hi,

I recently moved up from 0.15.2 to 0.16.0. I am testing out my old  
code using the new 0.16.0 Java library in my Play application. I am  
able to create indices, add a mapping and index some stuff but when I  
am searching, I get the error below and then the library becomes  
unresponsive (the current request that crashed fails to return and the  
page is hanging waiting for a response from the server). This is the  
code I'm using to search:

try {  
XContentBuilder jsonBuilder =  
XContentFactory.jsonBuilder();  
Client client = ElasticSearch.getInstance().getClient();

```
        System.out.println("BEFORE SEARCHING");

        SearchResponse response = client.prepareSearch("rb")
            .setSearchType(SearchType.DFS_QUERY_THEN_FETCH)
            .setQuery(QueryBuilders.fieldQuery("tags", tags))
            .setFrom(0).setSize(60).setExplain(true)
            .execute()
            .actionGet();

        System.out.println("GOT HERE");
        SearchHit[] hits = response.getHits().getHits();
        System.out.println("GOT " + hits.length + " HITS");
        for(SearchHit hit : hits) {
            System.out.println("ITERATING: " + hit.getId() + " : "

```

- hit.sourceAsString());

results.add(ResourceBundle.fromJson(hit.sourceAsString()));  
}  
} catch(IOException ioe) {  
// result = "Something very bad happened!";  
ioe.printStackTrace();  
} catch (NoSuchFieldError nsfe) {  
System.out.println("NoSuchFieldError: " +  
nsfe.getMessage());  
nsfe.printStackTrace();  
}

Only the "BEFORE SEARCHING" is printed which means that the  
SearchResponse line is what chokes up. My stack trace is below:

Are you sure you updated the Lucene jars to 3.1?

No. I'm still at lucene-core-2.9.3.jar. I will move up to 3.1 and  
revert.
