Hey, what version of elasticsearch are you using? What version of the plugin? How many nodes do you run in that cluster? Can you show a complete recreation of the problem? (inluding installation of the plugin, how you start elasticsearch, how you create the river configuration). See [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/help) Somehow your \_river index seems to have more than one shard, wondering why.. --Alex On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 10:24 AM, Sigehere [webmaster.swapnil@gmail.com](mailto:webmaster.swapnil@gmail.com)wrote: > Hi Friends, > > I am trying to use wikipedia river.
