Elasticsearch + Oracle JDBC River - oracle

Question

Maybe this is a simple question but im new at ElasticSearch.. Installed es 1.4, Oracle 10g is up and running, jdbc plugin loaded in ES without issue. Marvel also working.. Tried to create a river with this statement in Marvel/Sense:
PUT _river/mydata/_meta
{
"type": "jdbc",
"jdbc": {
"driver": "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver",
"url": “jdbc:oracle:thin:#host:1521:SID",
"user": “oracleusr",
"password": “ oraclepass",
"index": “myindex",
"type": “mytype",
"sql": "select * from aTable"
}
}
And i get this error all the time:
{
"error": "MapperParsingException[failed to parse]; nested: ElasticsearchParseException[Failed to derive xcontent from (offset=0, length=323): [80, 85, 84, 32, 95, 114, 105, 118, 101, 114, 47, 109, 52, 99, 47, 95, 109, 101, 116, 97, 32, 10, 123, 10, 32, 32, 34, 116, 121, 112, 101, 34, 58, 32, 34, 106, 100, 98, 99, 34, 44, 10, 32, 32, 34, 106, 100, 98, 99, 34, 58, 32, 123, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 34, 100, 114, 105, 118, 101, 114, 34, 58, 32, 34, 111, 114, 97, 99, 108, 101, 46, 106, 100, 98, 99, 46, 79, 114, 97, 99, 108, 101, 68, 114, 105, 118, 101, 114, 34, 44, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 34, 117, 114, 108, 34, 58, 32, -30, -128, -100, 106, 100, 98, 99, 58, 111, 114, 97, 99, 108, 101, 58, 116, 104, 105, 110, 58, 64, 49, 48, 46, 49, 57, 52, 46, 49, 55, 46, 49, 55, 51, 58, 49, 53, 50, 49, 58, 109, 52, 99, 34, 44, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 34, 117, 115, 101, 114, 34, 58, 32, -30, -128, -100, 109, 52, 99, 34, 44, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 34, 112, 97, 115, 115, 119, 111, 114, 100, 34, 58, 32, -30, -128, -100, 32, 109, 52, 99, 49, 50, 48, 57, 48, 53, 34, 44, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 34, 105, 110, 100, 101, 120, 34, 58, 32, -30, -128, -100, 109, 52, 99, 34, 44, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 34, 116, 121, 112, 101, 34, 58, 32, -30, -128, -100, 112, 97, 105, 115, 34, 44, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 34, 115, 113, 108, 34, 58, 32, 34, 115, 101, 108, 101, 99, 116, 32, 42, 32, 102, 114, 111, 109, 32, 77, 52, 67, 80, 65, 73, 83, 34, 10, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 125, 10, 125, 10]]; ",
"status": 400
}
on the CLI i get:
org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: failed to parse

Caused by: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchParseException: Failed to derive xcontent from (offset=0, length=323)
I first though was a connection problem but checking around it seems its a problem with the mapping in ES & Oracle. Does someone have done ES+Oracle River integration? Any help would be really appreciated.

Answer 1

I found a solution that worked out really straigth forward. Instead of putting the command on the what i did is have a json config file like this:
{
"type" : "jdbc" ,
"jdbc" :{
"strategy" : "oneshot",
"driver" : "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver",
"url" : "jdbc:oracle:thin:#host:1521:DNS",
"user" : "user",
"password" : "password",
"sql" : "select * from aTable",
"poll" : "1h",
"scale" : 0,
"autocommit" : false,
"fetchsize" : 100,
"max_rows" : 0,
"max_retries" : 3,
"max_retries_wait" : "10s"
},
"index" : {
"index" : "aIndex",
"type" : "aType",
"bulk_size" : 100
}
}
and then call it with curl like this:
'http://127.0.0.1:9200/_river/jdbcriver/_meta' -d #config.json
I don't know it's a parser issue or what but this way worked like a charm.
Thanks
