Mappings are not exported correctly

[OrKoN]

Hi,

thanks for your effort in developing this script. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I do the following:

   node exporter.js -a localhost -p 9201 -i <index> -g /tmp/index.es

The file index.es.meta has the following structure:

{
  "mappings": {
    "mappings": {
     ....
   }
}

When I import the index back:

node exporter.js -f /tmp/index.es -b localhost -p 9201 -i <index>

A parse error occurs:

MapperParsingException[Root type mapping not empty after parsing

If I remove an extra "mappings" key, the import seems to work.

Elastic Search 1.3.2.

Best regards,
Alex

Thanks for reporting.

I'm currently a little swamped so it'll take some time until I can take a closer look at it. My guess right now is that ES changed it's format again and that's why mappings aren't working again.

@ceilingfish just committed a new patch that fixes some problems with exporting mappings.
Check out the current master build to verify if that resolves your issue as well.

@mallocator @ceilingfish I've tested - works for me now. So the issue is resolved. Thanks!
