Zero docs found while indexing a couchdb database (with docs)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

this is my first time in the list.

I am using:

Ubuntu 13.04
CouchDB 1.2.0
ElasticSearch 0.90.1
_head plug-in (downloaded a couple days ago)
_river plug-in (downloaded a couple days ago)

Found ElasticSearch to be an amazing product, but I am even more amazed by
the lack of documentation, and specially, by the lack of tutorials, so I am
doing my best. Sorry if I ask some foolish questions, but...
There are a few questions that I cannot answer after much google search.

  1. How do I know which configurations files is the db using ?

There are two here (I guess they were installed by default) :
/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
/etc/elasticsearch/logging.yml

And another pair there (I put them there) :
/usr/share/elasticsearch/conf/elasticsearch.yml
/usr/share/elasticsearch/conf/logging.yml

  1. Where can I find a couple of example config files ?
    (I just could not find them)

  2. How can I stop and restart ElasticSearch ?
    (just could not find that in the documentation neither)

  3. The real problem:

I got this CouchDB db running, its _changes look ok:
http://localhost:5984/tigertest/_changes

{"results":[
{"seq":1,"id":"cesky.html","changes":[{"rev":"1-ddcdcb89d2ccb130ef1685d5570e0128"}]},
{"seq":2,"id":"cat.html","changes":[{"rev":"1-e86c091cd7f96ca600673fa3a67abdb6"}]},
{"seq":3,"id":"abenaki.html","changes":[{"rev":"1-945504c6dc28641a82ace9ccda0b91af"}]},
{"seq":4,"id":"chamorro.html","changes":[{"rev":"1-ade4d0ab8744facc7867486df5cdeee5"}]},

(some 150 more docs follows)

I created a _river using this code:

curl -XPUT '127.0.0.1:9200/_river/tigertest/_meta' -d '{
"type" : "couchdb",
"couchdb" : {
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 5984,
"db" : "tigertest",
"filter" : null
},
"index" : {
"index" : "tigertest",
"type" : "tigertest",
"bulk_size" : "100",
"bulk_timeout" : "10ms" }
}'

Then all I see is this:

_river
size: 3.8kb (3.8kb)
docs: 2 (2)

tigertest
size: 495b (495b)
docs: 0 (0)

It looks like it does not see nothing from the _changes
What may I look for?

Thanks in advance,
Fatima
