I run ES v 0.90.0. I'm facing 'StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 ' only when sending log from a particular server through logstash to ES. Below is a sample log from that server: 06-Sep-2013 06:10:45.934 transfer of 'domain.ca/IN' from 10.0.4.83#53: failed while receiving responses: SERVFAIL The complete error stack is here: [https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6462292](https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6462292) My ES template: [https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6462299](https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6462299) Any help would be highly appreciated.

This is a known bug in 0.90.0 which has been fixed: > > > I'm seeing the following in Elastic 0.90.0 during the first attempt attempt to i…nitiate an AnalyzeRequest against a numeric field: > > \`\`\` > Caused by: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 > at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.BaseFuture$Sync.getValue(BaseFuture.java:285) > at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.BaseFuture$Sync.get(BaseFuture.java:272) > at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.BaseFuture.get(BaseFuture.java:113) > at org.elasticsearch.action.support.AdapterActionFuture.actionGet(AdapterActionFuture.java:45) > ... 38 more > Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 > at java.lang.String.\(String.java:207) > at org.elasticsearch.index.analysis.NumericTokenizer.reset(NumericTokenizer.java:59) > at org.elasticsearch.index.analysis.NumericTokenizer.reset(NumericTokenizer.java:54) > at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.analyze.TransportAnalyzeAction.shardOperation(TransportAnalyzeAction.java:202) > at org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.analyze.TransportAnalyzeAction.shardOperation(TransportAnalyzeAction.java:57) > at org.elasticsearch.action.support.single.custom.TransportSingleCustomOperationAction$AsyncSingleAction$2.run(TransportSingleCustomOperationAction.java:175) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) > ... 1 more > \`\`\` > > The cause of the problem appears to be that the \`reset()\` method of the \`NumericTokenizer\` is called twice the first time \`analyzer.tokenStream()\` is called for a the field in a thread: > \- The first call happens as a result of Lucene calling \`createComponents()\` on the \`NumericAnalyzer\`. This eventually results in the construction of a \`NumericTokenizer\` with a \`char\[\]\` buffer, which calls \`reset()\` during construction. This first \`reset()\` call leaves the \`FastStringReader\` associated with the Tokenizer with a \`next\` value that is equal to the length of that buffer because it reads all the chars out of the reader. > \- The second call happens as a result of the explicit call to \`reset()\` in \`TransportAnalyzeAction\` immediately after the \`TokenStream\` has been retrieved from the analyzer. Unfortunately calling the method a second time triggers the \`if (next \>= length)\` check in the \`read()\` method of the associated \`FastStringReader\` to return -1. NumericTokenizer then tries to use -1 as the number of chars to use when constructing a \`String\`, which throws the \`StringIndexOutOfBoundsException\` above. If you upgrade (I recommend the latests version 0.90.3) this error shouldn't occur any more.
