Hi,

I've just got around to upgrading from 0.19.4 to 0.19.9, and now indexing  
gives me the error "IllegalArgumentException[Min shingle size must be \<=  
max shingle size]"

I've had the max\_shingle\_size to 5 in the previous versions with no  
problems. I've tried adding the min\_shingle\_size as well but still get the  
error. The only thing that works is removing all settings and reverting to  
the defaults.

For info, I'm using [PlainElastic.Net](http://PlainElastic.Net) to create the settings, but I can see  
them set in the index metadata so I don't think that's where the issue is.

Any ideas? Has something changed in the latest version?

Thanks

Geoff

Sorry, to answer my own question, this has changed:

"Fix reversed ShingleFilter constructor arguments"

If I change my parameter to "min\_shingle\_size" instead of  
"max\_shingle\_size" I get the behaviour I had before.

I'll create a github issue.
