Hello! I'm playing with attachment type (using ES 0.10.0). From documentation ([http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/mapping/attachment/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/mapping/attachment/)) I understand that all I need only download apache-tika-0.7-src.zip and place it to $ES\_HOME/plugins directory. But when I started ES the plugin not loaded: [14:47:12,380][INFO][node] [Mary Walker] {elasticsearch/0.10.0}[11532]: started [14:50:43,475][INFO][node] [Ultra-Marine] {elasticsearch/0.10.0}[11680]: initializing ...

You can install it with the $ES\_HOME/bin/plugin command: ./bin/plugin install analysis-icu You can see a list of the available plugins here: [http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/](http://elasticsearch.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/) clint ---

No, it isn't. I happen to know about it, but it took some searching for me to remember how it works docs need updating clint ---
