Hi all, I'm getting some strange behavior from the ES server when using a term query + a geo distance filter + a sort. I've tried this with 1.3.2, 1.3.5, as well as 1.4.0. All exhibit this same behavior. I'm using the Java transport client. Here is my SearchRequestBuilder payload in toString() format. query { "from" : 0, "size" : 10, "query" : { "term" : { "ug\_context" : "2abaf75a-69c4-11e4-918e-4658cde16dad\_\_application\_\_zzzcollzzzusers" } }, "post\_filter" : { "geo\_distance" : { "go\_location" : [ -122.40474700927734, 37.77427673339844 ], "distance" : "200.0m" } }, "sort" : [ { "su\_created" : { "order" : "asc", "ignore\_unmapped" : true } }, { "nu\_created" : { "order" : "asc", "ignore\_unmapped" : true } }, { "bu\_created" : { "order" : "asc", "ignore\_unmapped" : true } } ] } limit 10 Here is the stack trace org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.UncategorizedExecutionException: Failed execution at org.elasticsearch.action.support.AdapterActionFuture.rethrowExecutionException(AdapterActionFuture.java:90) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.AdapterActionFuture.actionGet(AdapterActionFuture.java:50) at org.apache.usergrid.persistence.index.impl.EsEntityIndexImpl.search(EsEntityIndexImpl.java:307) at org.apache.usergrid.corepersistence.CpRelationManager.searchConnectedEntities(CpRelationManager.java:1453) at org.apache.usergrid.corepersistence.CpEntityManager.searchConnectedEntities(CpEntityManager.java:1585) at org.apache.usergrid.persistence.GeoIT.testGeo(GeoIT.java:202) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:47) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:44) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:17) at org.apache.usergrid.CoreApplication$1.evaluate(CoreApplication.java:133) at org.junit.rules.RunRules.evaluate(RunRules.java:20) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runLeaf(ParentRunner.java:271) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:70) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:50) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:238) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:63) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:236) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:53) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:229) at org.apache.usergrid.CoreITSetupImpl$1.evaluate(CoreITSetupImpl.java:66) at org.junit.rules.RunRules.evaluate(RunRules.java:20) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:309) at org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.run(JUnitCore.java:160) at com.intellij.junit4.JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.startRunnerWithArgs(JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.java:74) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.prepareStreamsAndStart(JUnitStarter.java:211) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.main(JUnitStarter.java:67) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.StreamOutput.writeString(StreamOutput.java:223) at org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.HandlesStreamOutput.writeString(HandlesStreamOutput.java:55) at org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.StreamOutput.writeStringArray(StreamOutput.java:298) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchRequest.writeTo(SearchRequest.java:615) at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.sendRequest(NettyTransport.java:685) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService.sendRequest(TransportService.java:199) at org.elasticsearch.action.TransportActionNodeProxy.execute(TransportActionNodeProxy.java:57) at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.support.InternalTransportClient$1.doWithNode(InternalTransportClient.java:109) at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClientNodesService.execute(TransportClientNodesService.java:202) at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.support.InternalTransportClient.execute(InternalTransportClient.java:106) at org.elasticsearch.client.support.AbstractClient.search(AbstractClient.java:334) at org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient.search(TransportClient.java:424) at org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchRequestBuilder.doExecute(SearchRequestBuilder.java:1116) at org.elasticsearch.action.ActionRequestBuilder.execute(ActionRequestBuilder.java:91) at org.elasticsearch.action.ActionRequestBuilder.execute(ActionRequestBuilder.java:65) I've observed a couple of things. I don't see this exception when there are no matching documents. When I do have matching documents, then I see the NPE. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The payload itself looks fine, and serializes from the builder to a SMILE byte payload. However, when that payload is transmitted over Netty, I see this exception.

Looks like a bug in org.apache.usergrid.persistence.index.impl. EsEntityIndexImpl Check if the "types" are set to a non-null value in the SearchRequest. If you force them to be a null value, SearchRequest will throw the NPE you posted.

You're right Jorg. There was an issue where types was incorrectly set to null because more than 1 was specified. As a result, it passed the check for at least 1 element in the array, even though the type itself in element 0 was null. Thank you for your help!
