Hi,

I am using elasticsearch embedded in a tomcat 7 webapp container  
(everything running under java 7.) All libs for elasticsearch are in  
WEB-INF/lib. In v0.90 everything is running swimmingly. We upgraded to v1.0  
(libs and all and paid attention to breaking API calls) but now on Ubuntu  
Linux when I make a call to create an index via the following call:

final CreateIndexResponse response = \_client.admin().indices().prepareCreate(index).setSource(mapping).execute().actionGet();

I get the following exception:

Note that all the libraries are updated from the 1.0 download and if I do a jar -tvf on lucene-core-4.6.1.jar I can see the PostingsFormat.class. However, if I copy all of the libs into $CATALINA\_HOME/lib I can get past that error but then get this:

I'm flummoxed. Firstly, by the fact that it cannot find the class where it  
should be able to find it, and had no troubles finding it up until the  
upgrade to 1.0. And, secondly, if I succeeded in getting it to find the  
class then I get this esoteric ClassCastException deep within the machinery  
of elasticsearch. I should also mention that this same code runs  
successfully under tomcat 7 on Windows and ran just fine under v0.90 of  
elasticsearch. Given the name of that postings format class  
(ElasticSearch090PostingsFormat) it doesn't appear this area of  
elasticsearch underwent much change in v1.0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hey,

You dont have by accident two lucene versions in your project, right? Would  
like to know more about that class cast exception, but this is the most  
verbose output you get I fear?

Maybe there are two Elasticsearch jar versions in the class path.

Being on ubuntu, I was using the openjdk 7, but now grabbing at straws, I  
switched to Oracle's official release of the JDK (jdk1.7.0\_51) and I can  
get past the above two errors but only to be blocked the following new  
error:

My eyes have poured over the libs that I have in $CATALINA\_HOME/lib and  
WEB-INF/lib and I have deleted and re-copied the official elasticsearch  
jars into those locations at least a dozen times (ensuring that they only  
exist in one place at a time.) As far as I have been able to determine, I  
only have one set of the lastest v1.0 elasticsearch jars within the  
classpath.

Not sure, but maybe you have jars with ES classes in the plugins folder  
that went astray?

IIRC I saw these kind of errors and it was a plugin with dependencies that  
were not compatible.

If that is your code you can hack on, last resort is printing the current  
classpath in the log file...

Many, many, way to many, hours later it came down to what everyone was  
suggesting was the problem in the first place: an old elasticsearch jar  
sitting in an abandoned directory but still scanned by tomcat's class  
loader.

Thanks for your help.
