Has anybody seen an error like this? I've loaded 10M record into 5 shards and 1 replica. I ran a search today and got this. I'm still indexing records while I performed this search. Here's the response that I received: {"error":"SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute [query] total failure; shardFailures {[310ba848-f85c-4ae3-b7d6-15a97a934121] [spokeprofile][2]: RemoteTransportException[[Strobe][inet[/ 10.210.167.223:9300]][search/phase/query]]; nested: QueryPhaseExecutionException[[spokeprofile][2]: query[name:david],from[0],size[10]: Query Failed []]; nested: } {[92355a28-2fbc-4455-b48f-321114d2631f][spokeprofile][4]: QueryPhaseExecutionException[[spokeprofile][4]: query[name:david],from[0],size[10]: Query Failed []]; nested: } {[5e7689aa-7218-43f0-94c5-85e60d509ef6][spokeprofile][0]: RemoteTransportException[[War V][inet[/10.193.211.15:9300]][search/ phase/query]]; nested: QueryPhaseExecutionException[[spokeprofile][0]: query[name:david],from[0],size[10]: Query Failed []]; nested: } {[92355a28-2fbc-4455-b48f-321114d2631f][spokeprofile][1]: QueryPhaseExecutionException[[spokeprofile][1]: query[name:david],from[0],size[10]: Query Failed []]; nested: } {[5e7689aa-7218-43f0-94c5-85e60d509ef6][spokeprofile][3]: RemoteTransportException[[War V][inet[/10.193.211.15:9300]][search/ phase/query]]; nested: QueryPhaseExecutionException[[spokeprofile][3]: query[name:david],from[0],size[10]: Query Failed []]; nested: }]"} ---

Seems like an internal null pointer exception in the search (which usually indicate wrong format of search, or internal bug). Do you see anything in the logs? -shay.banon On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 10:33 PM, David Jensen [djensen47@gmail.com](mailto:djensen47@gmail.com) wrote: > Has anybody seen an error like this?

Nevermind, it was user error. Even after double checking I put in the wrong value for the type. To turn this into a more productive conversation ... For instance the url should have been [http://localhost:9200/profile/person/\_search](http://localhost:9200/profile/person/_search) but I used [http://localhost:9200/profile/personS/\_search](http://localhost:9200/profile/personS/_search) which resulting in this ugly nasty error. Would it not be better to have an exception to specifically address the basic source of the problem, that they type (or index) does not exist?

I think I fixed it to be a nicer error in 0.9, if not, ping me and I will make it nicer. -shay.banon On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 12:34 AM, David Jensen [djensen47@gmail.com](mailto:djensen47@gmail.com) wrote: > Nevermind, it was user error.
