I want to do a match query, and the query works fine in REST:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/search/video\_search/\_search?pretty' -d @query.  
json

query.json:  
{  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"tvName": {  
"query": "决战华岩寺",  
"operator": "or",  
"minimum\_should\_match": "2"  
}  
}  
}  
}

but I don't know how to do it in Java, my code below doesn't work:

MatchQueryBuilder queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.matchQuery("tvName", keyword)  
.minimumShouldMatch("2")  
.operator(MatchQueryBuilder.Operator.OR);

the exception is : Unexpected end of block of data.

Cloud anybody help? Thanks very much.

Hmmm, not sure. I tired this and it worked for me:

```
  q = QueryBuilders.matchQuery("tvName", "决战华岩寺")
      .minimumShouldMatch("1")
      .operator(MatchQueryBuilder.Operator.OR);

```

Perhaps can you give a complete example of an index, 1 document, and the  
actual full Java query to duplicate your problem?
