On my Centos 7 workstation i have elasticsearch (ver.5.5.1) service by image: [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.5.1](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.5.1).

Filesystem type on my workstation is xfs.

I have .tar archive with /usr/share/elasticsearch/data/nodes/0/ contains index structure:  
(JSON from kibana)  
{  
"\_index": "fias-addrobj",  
"\_type": "document",  
"\_id": "00173aad-ae1a-413e-b73c-d9e573923ef9",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"aoid": "00173aad-ae1a-413e-b73c-d9e573923ef9",  
"formalname": "Учительский",  
"regioncode": "26",  
"offname": "Учительский",  
"shortname": "проез",  
"aolevel": 7,  
"parentguid": "2a1c7bdb-05ea-492f-9e1c-b3999f79dcbc",  
"aoguid": "1a10726e-c22d-4ed0-b01e-ebe7bce46ddf",  
"actstatus": 1  
}  
}

Trouble with formalname – string, offname – string, shortname – string wrong charset.

Did you use UTF8 when you sent documents to elasticsearch?

Initially, the data was imported from mysql by python script.  
Russian characters returned correctly.  
But so that for fast deploy I make .tar of  
/usr/share/elasticsearch/data/nodes/0/ my first data  
and now I composer-up docker and extract tar to /usr/share/elasticsearch/data/nodes/.

Yesterday I tried change version of elasticsearch - not for luck.  
I tried on other clean maschine - not for luck.

Several times for deploy all was ok.

But now not luck.

Success!  
The problem was in the wrong encoding of the console.
