Hi,
I followed all the steps that are mentioned on this page:
> **[javanna/elasticsearch-river-solr](https://github.com/javanna/elasticsearch-river-solr/)**
>
> elasticsearch-river-solr - Solr River plugin for elasticsearch
ES: elasticsearch-0.90.7
River Plugin: elasticsearch-river-solr-1.0.4.jar and solr-solrj-4.2.1.jar
SOLR: solr-4.6.0
However When I execute the river plugin,
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_river/solr\_river/\_meta -d '
{
"type" : "solr",
"solr" : {
"url" : "[http://localhost:8080/solr/](http://localhost:8080/solr/)",
"q" : "_:_"
}
}'
I get following error:
{
```
_index: _river
_type: solr_river
_id: _status
_version: 1
_score: 1
_source: {
error: ElasticSearchParseException[Failed to derive xcontent from]
node: {
id: Rfg3hxNzTWyr4xoFXFpcJg
name: Justice
transport_address: inet[/10.102.175.182:9300]
}
}
```
}

Hi,
actually the solr river wasn't quite up-to-date and didn't support recent
versions of elasticsearch (nr probably recent versions of solr). Sorry
about that, I just fixed it and released a new version.
This new version contains also another improvement: it doesn't use solrj
anymore to connect to solr but only plain http requests. That helps
avoiding version conflicts as solrj uses a binary protocol that might
change between versions.
Cheers
Luca
