Question

I’ve created a couchDB river (from this elasticsearch example) for elasticsearch with the following code:

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

When I try to search the the couchDB using elasticsearch with this command:

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/tasks/tasks -d query{"user":"jbattle"}

I get the response:
No handler found for uri [/tasks/tasks] and method [GET][]

I’ve been searching but have yet to discover a solution to/for this issue.

UPDATE:

I’ve discovered the proper query is:

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_river/tasks/_search?q=user:jbattle&pretty=true'

Though, despite no longer receiving an error, I get 0 hits:

{
   "took" : 1,
   "timed_out" : false,
   "_shards" : {
     "total" : 1,
     "successful" : 1,
     "failed" : 0
   },
   "hits" : {
   "total" : 0,
   "max_score" : null,
   "hits" : [ ]
}

Answer 1

Both of your queries are incorrect. The first one is missing the endpoint /_search and the second one is querying index _river instead of index tasks.

The _river index is where your river is stored not your data. When you configured your river, you specified index tasks.

So try this instead:

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/tasks/tasks/_search?q=user:jbattle&pretty=true'

Or if that doesn’t work, try searching for any docs in tasks/tasks:

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/tasks/tasks/_search?q=*&pretty=true'
