Hi,

I would like to use the termvector API in Java , but I have some issues. I  
tried the following code, but didn't get any term vectors in the response  
object.

final TermVectorResponse termVectorResponse = getClient().termVector(new TermVectorRequest()

```
  .index(this.index)

  .type(this.type)

  .id(aContent.getUrl())

  .termStatistics(true)

  .selectedFields(new String[]{"main", "abs", "title"}))

  .actionGet();

```

1. Do I have to define a mapping upfront, or can how does ElastiSearch  
handle string fields

2. Do I have to user another API? I could not find any method like  
"getTerms" or so in the API.

Thanks a lot!

Klaus
