elasticsearch - No query registered for [query]]

Question

I am trying to send request to ES from my tests. I applied mapping and inserted documents to ES index named 'gccount_test' from the same test. I have a very simple query maintained in a file named member that I want to test.

{     "query" : {            "match_all" : {}       } } 

My test method is

public void testMemberQuery(){         final Charset CHARSET = StandardCharsets.UTF_8          //load query         byte[] bytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(MEMBER_QUERY_PATH))         String query = CHARSET.decode(ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes)).toString()          println "QUERY => ${query}"          SearchSourceBuilder searchSourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder()         searchSourceBuilder.query(query)          SearchRequestBuilder searchRequestBuilder = client.prepareSearch(INDEX_NAME)         //ClusterAdminClient adminClient = client.admin().cluster()         //searchRequestBuilder.setTypes(Constants.ESTYPE_MEMBER)         //println "CLUSTER => ${adminClient}"          searchRequestBuilder.setSearchType(SearchType.QUERY_THEN_FETCH);         searchRequestBuilder.internalBuilder(searchSourceBuilder)          SearchResponse searchResponse = searchRequestBuilder.execute().actionGet()         println "Search Response => ${searchResponse.toString()}"          //blah blah      } 

Unfortunately, I get following error.

Failed to execute phase [query_fetch], total failure; shardFailures {[1][gccount][0]: SearchParseException[[gccount_test][0]: from[-1],size[-1]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{"query_binary":"ewogICAgInF1ZXJ5IiA6IHsgCiAgICAgICAgICAibWF0Y2hfYWxsIiA6IHt9IAogICAgIH0KfQ=="}]]]; nested: QueryParsingException[[gccount_test] No query registered for [query]]; } org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchPhaseExecutionException: Failed to execute phase [query_fetch], total failure; shardFailures {[1][gccount_test][0]: SearchParseException[[gccount_test][0]: from[-1],size[-1]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{"query_binary":"ewogICAgInF1ZXJ5IiA6IHsgCiAgICAgICAgICAibWF0Y2hfYWxsIiA6IHt9IAogICAgIH0KfQ=="}]]]; nested: QueryParsingException[[gccount_test] No query registered for [query]]; }     at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchTypeAction$BaseAsyncAction.onFirstPhaseResult(TransportSearchTypeAction.java:261)     at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchTypeAction$BaseAsyncAction$3.onFailure(TransportSearchTypeAction.java:214)     at org.elasticsearch.search.action.SearchServiceTransportAction.sendExecuteFetch(SearchServiceTransportAction.java:246)     at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchQueryAndFetchAction$AsyncAction.sendExecuteFirstPhase(TransportSearchQueryAndFetchAction.java:75)     at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchTypeAction$BaseAsyncAction.performFirstPhase(TransportSearchTypeAction.java:206)     at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchTypeAction$BaseAsyncAction.performFirstPhase(TransportSearchTypeAction.java:193)     at org.elasticsearch.action.search.type.TransportSearchTypeAction$BaseAsyncAction$2.run(TransportSearchTypeAction.java:179)     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1110)     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:603)     at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) 

I am using elasticsearch 0.90.2 dependecy

[group: 'org.elasticsearch', name: 'elasticsearch', version: '0.90.2'] 

Same thing runs fine in real environment(snapshot below)

Is the problem with while loading query from file that caused it's malformation or what?

Answer 1

The exception basically means "There is no known query type called query". I'm guessing that your client library is automatically inserting the top-level query property, so your generated query actually looks like this:

{     "query" : {         "query" : {            "match_all" : {}          }     } } 

If your client can dump the JSON representation of the query, that can help a lot in debugging.

Try removing the query portion from your text file so that it is just the match_all query, see if that works for you.
