Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

I am a newbie to elasticsearch. Does anyone know any reasons for this
exception while indexing data.

"Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of
range: -1

  •    at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1937)*

  •    at

org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataCreateIndexService.addMappings(MetaDataCreateIndexService.java:355)

  •    at

org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataCreateIndexService.access$500(MetaDataCreateIndexService.java:81)"

Hi,

Looks like formatting of the mapping settings. Would be helpful if you also paste the settings.

Cheers,
Uri

ABC,

Check config/mappings/_default and config/mappings/YOUR-INDEX-NAMEdirectories, if you see any files there without an extension - rename them
to have an extension (.json, for example).
