Hi,

I am running a data node (0.19.8) on my machine using the java API from  
scala repl and then running my app that is starting a no-data client node  
that successfully connects to the previous. However, when trying to create  
an index I get the following error. Any idea?

Thanks,

Hi Isreal,

Can you share the code that starts the ES node and the code that  
creates the index in your app? Or maybe translate the code snippets to  
curl requests?  
That would help finding what is going on here.

I start the data node with this: val node =  
nodeBuilder().clusterName("mmm").data(true).client(false).local(false).build().start()  
and the client node with:  
val settings =  
ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder().put("discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled",  
"false").put("discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts",  
"localhost:9300").put("discovery.zen.ping.timeout", "100s").build()

I think I'm missing something here for the client node. I only see the  
code that creates the settings.  
Can your share the code snippet that creates the client node and the  
code snippet the executes a create index command?

Sorry,

val node =  
nodeBuilder().settings(settings).local(false).clusterName(clusterName).client(true).node()  
val client = node.client()

and I try to create the index with:  
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/cmwell](http://localhost:9200/cmwell)'

BTW, It happens only when I run the data node locally from java API. If I  
run ES on different machine normally (original shell script), it works just  
fine.

Thanks,

Hi Israel,

I tried to reproduce the error you reported. I didn't get the NPE you  
reported. However the client node was unable to connect to the data  
node.  
After removing the "discovery.zen.ping.timeout" option the client was  
able to connect to the data node. I was also able to create the index  
without  
a problem (via the Java client and curl). Here is the code:

Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()  
.put("discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled", "false")  
.put("discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts", "localhost:9300")  
.build();

```
Node node1 = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder()
        .clusterName("mmm").data(true).client(false).local(false).build().start();

Node node2 = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder()
        .settings(settings)
        .clusterName("mmm").client(true).local(false).build().start();
Client client = node2.client();

CreateIndexRequestBuilder builder =

```

client.admin().indices().prepareCreate("cmwell");  
CreateIndexResponse response =  
client.admin().indices().create(builder.request()).actionGet();

Could it be possible that scala somehow messes up elasticsearch  
classloader? Could you try running elasticsearch as a stand alone server?  
It looks like this[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/0.19/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/mapper/MapperService.java#L116](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/0.19/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/mapper/MapperService.java#L116)resource is not getting loaded for some reason. I don't really see any  
other way for this exception to occur.
