Hi, everyone. as you know, English is not my native language. I just know a little. elastic version 2.2.1 windows 7 OS jdk 1.8 ================= my problem is : when I install mapper-attachments, restart elasticserach, 1. create mapping 2. post a record , then errors as followed. (if you use http client, such as RestClient of Firefox , errors are the same) Exception in thread "main" MapperParsingException[failed to parse]; nested: NotSerializableExceptionWrapper[json\_parse\_exception: Unexpected character (''' (code 39)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null') at [Source: org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.InputStreamStreamInput@14324dcf; line: 1, column: 27]]; at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentParser.innerParseDocument(DocumentParser.java:163) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentParser.parseDocument(DocumentParser.java:79) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapper.parse(DocumentMapper.java:304) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.IndexShard.prepareIndex(IndexShard.java:580) at org.elasticsearch.index.shard.IndexShard.prepareIndexOnPrimary(IndexShard.java:559) at org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.prepareIndexOperationOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:211) at org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.executeIndexRequestOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:223) at org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.shardOperationOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:157) at org.elasticsearch.action.index.TransportIndexAction.shardOperationOnPrimary(TransportIndexAction.java:65) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportReplicationAction$PrimaryPhase.doRun(TransportReplicationAction.java:595) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.AbstractRunnable.run(AbstractRunnable.java:37) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportReplicationAction$PrimaryOperationTransportHandler.messageReceived(TransportReplicationAction.java:263) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.TransportReplicationAction$PrimaryOperationTransportHandler.messageReceived(TransportReplicationAction.java:260) at org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService$4.doRun(TransportService.java:350) at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.AbstractRunnable.run(AbstractRunnable.java:37) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: NotSerializableExceptionWrapper[json\_parse\_exception: Unexpected character (''' (code 39)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null') at [Source: org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.InputStreamStreamInput@14324dcf; line: 1, column: 27]] at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser.\_constructError(JsonParser.java:1581) at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base.ParserMinimalBase.\_reportError(ParserMinimalBase.java:533) at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base.ParserMinimalBase.\_reportUnexpectedChar(ParserMinimalBase.java:462) at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.\_handleUnexpectedValue(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:2610) at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json.UTF8StreamJsonParser.nextToken(UTF8StreamJsonParser.java:795) at org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.json.JsonXContentParser.nextToken(JsonXContentParser.java:53) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentParser.parseObject(DocumentParser.java:273) at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentParser.innerParseDocument(DocumentParser.java:131) ---

Can you run `GET yourindex/yourtype/_mapping` (replace `yourindex` and `yourtype`) Can you post the exact request you sent? ---

Try first without the mapper attachment plugin. Just index text and try to search for terms you wish. If it doesn't work you need to adjust the mapping and define the right analyzer for your language. ---

1. If I search other field, e.g. tilte that'll be ok. 2. if I define the mapping like this: { "atta": { "properties": { "id": { "type": "string" }, "logtime": { "type": "string" }, "title": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "ik", "include\_in\_all": false }, "atta": { "type": "attachment", **"analyzer": "ik"** } } } } then wrong msg: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Mapping definition for [atta] has unsupported parameters: [analyzer : ik]"}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Mapping definition for [atta] has unsupported parameters: [analyzer : ik]"},"status":400} ---
