Hi,  
We have groovy code like this  
public IndexType getType(Index index, String typeName) {  
if (index == null || typeName == null) {  
throw new SearchException("Index or type name provided was  
null!")  
}  
IndexType returnType = index.indexTypes.find {  
it.name == typeName  
}

```
    return returnType
}

```

But now getting stacktraces like  
2010-11-15 14:12:57,300 [http-8083-1] ERROR  
errors.GrailsExceptionResolver - Could not find matching constructor  
for: org.elasticsearch.search.SearchException(java.lang.String)  
groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find matching  
constructor for:  
org.elasticsearch.search.SearchException(java.lang.String)  
at  
com.ticketfly.search.SearchQueryService.getType(SearchQueryService.groovy:  
283)  
at com.ticketfly.search.SearchQueryService$getType.call(Unknown  
Source)

Looking at the method sigs, its asking for a ShardTarget  
How does once quickly create a ShardTarget programmatically (from w/in  
the code)

package org.elasticsearch.search;

public static class SearchException extends  
org.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchException {  
private final org.elasticsearch.search.SearchShardTarget  
shardTarget;

```
public SearchException(org.elasticsearch.search.SearchShardTarget

```

shardTarget, java.lang.String msg) { /\* compiled code \*/ }

```
public SearchException(org.elasticsearch.search.SearchShardTarget

```

shardTarget, java.lang.String msg, java.lang.Throwable cause) { /\*  
compiled code \*/ }

```
public org.elasticsearch.search.SearchShardTarget shard() { /*

```

compiled code \*/ }  
}

Seems like ShardTarget asks for a few things  
public static class SearchShardTarget implements  
org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.Streamable, java.io.Serializable{  
private java.lang.String nodeId;  
private java.lang.String index;  
private int shardId;

```
private SearchShardTarget() { /* compiled code */ }

public SearchShardTarget(java.lang.String nodeId, java.lang.String

```

index, int shardId) { /\* compiled code \*/ }

Thanks  
G

Hi,

Its an internal exception in elasticsearch in terms of construction. You  
can build it yourself (and put null/empty string in the node id), but its  
not guaranteed that it won't change in the future (the construction of it).

Thanks Shay,  
I think were just going to roll our own search exception so were not  
as tightly coupled, but thanks for the response
