Hi, I'm trying to set a default analyzer for my index with the following settings: index.analysis.analyzer.default.tokenizer: keyword index.analysis.analyzer.default.filter.0: lowercase But when I try to index some entry without providing a mapping, I got a null pointer exception. The entry as simple as the following: {"name":"sezgin"} Here is the trace: org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: [Jim Hammond][inet[/192.168.1.102:9300]][indices/index/shard/index] Caused by: org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.ReplicationShardOperationFailedException: [topo\_topology\_09280306][4] at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction.performOnPrimary(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:392) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction.access$400(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:208) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction$1.run(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:278) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:885) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:907) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.elasticsearch.common.lucene.all.AllTokenStream.incrementToken(AllTokenStream.java:59) at org.apache.lucene.index.DocInverterPerField.processFields(DocInverterPerField.java:137) at org.apache.lucene.index.DocFieldProcessorPerThread.processDocument(DocFieldProcessorPerThread.java:246) at org.apache.lucene.index.DocumentsWriter.updateDocument(DocumentsWriter.java:821) at org.apache.lucene.index.DocumentsWriter.addDocument(DocumentsWriter.java:797) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.addDocument(IndexWriter.java:1981) at org.elasticsearch.index.engine.robin.RobinEngine.create(RobinEngine.java:189) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.service.InternalIndexShard.innerCreate(InternalIndexShard.java:213) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.service.InternalIndexShard.create(InternalIndexShard.java:201) at org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.shardOperationOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:135) at org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.shardOperationOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:60) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportShardReplicationOperationAction$AsyncShardOperationAction.performOnPrimary(TransportShardReplicationOperationAction.java:381) ... 5 more Thanks in advance, Sezgin Kucukkaraaslan ---

Hey, This exception comes from the \_all field which also ends up using the keyword analyzer. I have pushed a fix for it, but note that it does not make sense to have the \_all field use the keyword analyzer (think of the \_all field as long text of all the json values in the document). You can either disable the \_all field if what you want is just keyword based analyzed fields, or configure it to use a different analyzer. -shay.banon 2010/9/28 sezgin küçükkaraaslan [sezo104@gmail.com](mailto:sezo104@gmail.com) > Hi, > I'm trying to set a default analyzer for my index with the following > settings: > > index.analysis.analyzer.default.tokenizer: keyword > index.analysis.analyzer.default.filter.0: lowercase > > But when I try to index some entry without providing a mapping, I got a > null pointer exception.

I see, I'd better disable the \_all field. Thank you very much...
