prepareDelete returns JsonGenerator error

[mzwirek (Maciej Żwirski)]

Hi,

I finally had to give up. I used the following (quite straightforward) code with ES 2.3.5 client:

public static Client eSearchClient;

DeleteResponse response = RuntimeConfiguration.eSearchClient
.prepareDelete(INDEX_NAME, DOCUMENT_TYPE, String.valueOf(serviceProvider.getServiceProviderId()))
.get();

After upgrading to ES 5.0.0 (and switching to Maven) I keep getting the following exception:
"Error building toString out of XContent: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException: Can not write a field name, expecting a value
at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator._reportError(JsonGenerator.java:1886)"

My POM for ES looks like that:

org.elasticsearch
elasticsearch
5.0.0


org.elasticsearch.client
transport
5.0.0

I'd appreciate any help.

Kind regards,
Maciej

I don't think we're going to be able to help much without the whole stack trace. Can you post it to a gist or something?

Sure, here it is:

Looks like a bug. I filed

Issue: DeleteResponse#toString having trouble in 5.0+

You should be able to work around it by not calling toString on the response. But we'll fix it.

Looks like it is fixed in 5.0.1.

[mzwirek (Maciej Żwirski)]

Yes, in 5.0.1 the problem doesn't appear. And also the work around does work for 5.0.0. Thanks a lot for the help.
