NullPointerException when trying to use Fast Highlighter

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm new to ElasticSearch. I'm using 0.18.2. I have a 1 node
cluster, my index has 2 shards and 1 replica.

I have a type, with a mapping with a field like this.

			"name": {
				  "type": "string",
				  "boost" : 3.0,
				  "index": "analyzed",
            	                   "store": "yes",
                                       "term_vector":

"with_positions_offsets"
}

With the store and term_vector fields defined, I get a
NullPointerException and no results returned.

If I remove the store and term_vector fields, highlighting works fine.

Please let me know if you need more information, I can create a curl
recreation.
