I am using ES 1.7 and have installed mapper-attachment plugin version 2.7.0. I am following the steps from the below URL to understand the basic functionality. [http://www.elasticsearch.cn/tutorials/2011/07/18/attachment-type-in-action.html](http://www.elasticsearch.cn/tutorials/2011/07/18/attachment-type-in-action.html) I am executing the commands in below sequence- ```auto curl -X DELETE "localhost:9200/test" curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/\_mapping" -d '{ "attachment" : { "properties" : { "file" : { "type" : "attachment", "fields" : { "title" : { "store" : "yes" }, "file" : { "term_vector":"with_positions_offsets", "store":"yes" } } } } } }' ``` 1. Indexing the data using below scripts- ```auto #!/bin/sh coded=`cat fn6742.pdf | perl -MMIME::Base64 -ne 'print encode_base64($_)'` json="{\"file\":\"${coded}\"}" echo "$json" > json.file curl -X POST "localhost:9200/test/attachment/" -d @json.file ``` and doing search using below URL ```auto curl "localhost:9200/_search?pretty=true" -d '{ "fields" : ["title"], "query" : { "query_string" : { "query" : "amplifier" } }, "highlight" : { "fields" : { "file" : {} } } }' ``` this search query always ended up with '0' hits though the word i am searching for present in my file. ---

Did you really execute this? `curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/\_mapping"` It should be `curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/_mapping"` right? ---

Hello David, Thank you for replying. I am getting the below error when i execute curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/\_mapping" on OSX 10.10- error":"MapperParsingException[No handler for type [attachment] declared on field [file]]","status":400 this error only gets remove when i add the escape character. ---

It means that the plugin is not loaded. May be you did not restart the node? ---

The fact is that i ended up following the exact _same_ tutorial with ElasticSearch 1.5.2 and the attachment plugin 2.5.0, and i got the same result !! Just an empty resultset. (As you all know the the script is downloable as a gist here : [https://gist.github.com/lukas-vlcek/1075067](https://gist.github.com/lukas-vlcek/1075067) so it is really easy to reproduce the behavior) I wondered if there was any API change since the tutorial as i followed the documentation and never had a query returning a single resultset on an attachment. Should we upgrade to a more recent version of the plugin and ES ? Here is the log of ES starting : ``` [2015-08-25 18:13:41,878][INFO][node] [Ka-Zar] version[1.5.2], pid[4509], build[62ff986/2015-04-27T09:21:06Z] [2015-08-25 18:13:41,878][INFO][node] [Ka-Zar] initializing ...

Hi David , thank you for the prompt response. How can i run the elasticsearch on single node?Every time it starts few nodes with default names. or do we have any command to start all nodes together? ---

I have no idea of what you are trying to do to be honest! Based on the info you sent, I can just tell you that you have two nodes running on your local network using the same `cluster.name`. - `10.102.81.33` - `10.102.81.29` May the other node is one of a coworker? A good practice is to change the cluster name in `config/elasticsearch.yml` so you will work alone and you won't have to install anything on other nodes. ---

You're right. Thanks David ! The first URL had a redirection that was not followed by the script ! So that the downloaded PDF file was empty. The previous comments and script output were not obvious. So i forked the gist and the new version gives us the expected result. ---
