POST on _mapping endpoint fails with NPE #8301

Closed jprante closed 9 years ago

jprante commented 9 years ago

ES 1.3.4

The following command makes not much sense, but it fails with an NPE.

POST /alias/type/_mapping

Result

{
   "error": "RemoteTransportException[[Kierrok][inet[/10.3.2.31:19300]][indices/mapping/put]]; nested: NullPointerException; ",
   "status": 500
}

where alias is an index alias.

No error in the server logs.

The same thing happens with an index instead of an alias. The NPE seems to come from the missing body.

This was fixed in #7618 and is in 1.4.
