I recently setup a new 1.7.2 instance on my local machine. I am getting a NullPointerException when attempting to perform an auto search. The following are the steps I used in order to recreate the problem. Any help is appreciated as this it the only thing holding me up from utilizing Elasticsearch in a production environment.
-
Create an autocomplete index before bulk loading:
{
"mappings": {
"music": {
"properties": {
"artist": { "type": "string" },
"album": { "type": "string" },
"title": { "type": "string" },
"tag_suggest": {
"type": "completion",
"index_analyzer": "simple",
"search_analyzer": "simple",
"payloads": false
}
}
}
}
}
-
Add some simple documents using the bulk API with the following content:
{ "index": {"_index": "music", "_type": "string" } }
{ "artist": "Artist 1", "album": "Album 1", "title": "Song 1", "tags": [ "90s", "grunge" ], "tag_suggest": [ "90s", "grunge" ] }
-
Make sure search works (success)
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/music/_search?pretty" -d '{ "query": { "match": { "title": "song 1" } } }'
-
Verify autocomplete (failure)
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/music/_suggest?pretty" -d '{ "music_suggest": { "text": "90", "completion": { "field": "tag_suggest" } } }'
The error that I am receiving in my logs is as follows:
