Hello,

I am running ES on windows. I installed river-couchdb plugin and  
indexed my database, let's call index eug\_idx and call database  
eugdb. Then I ran the command in shell command under windows to index  
a new document with firstname and lastname fields:

C:\>curl -X PUT [http://localhost:9200/\_river/eug\_idx/1](http://localhost:9200/_river/eug_idx/1) -d @sample.json  
{"ok":true,"\_index":"\_river","\_type":"eug\_idx","\_id":"1","\_version":4}

where sample.json file has contents below.

{  
"firstname": "test1",  
"lastname: "test2"  
}

However, the new index (record) does not show in the 'eugdb' database  
when I go to [http://localhost:5984/eugdb](http://localhost:5984/eugdb).

Is it the expected behavior, or I somehow did not integrate ES with  
couchdb properly?

Thanks,  
Eugene.

The river will mirror changes done to couchdb into elasticsearch, not the other way around.
