"unknown highlighter type" in elasticsearch 1.4.3

[sschuerz]

I've now tried to use the experimental highlighter in elasticsearch 1.4.3, but I get the error "unknown highlighter type [experimental] ...". Is elasticsearch 1.4.3 not yet supported or did I hit a bug here?

Here is a minimal scenario that gives me the error message:

PUT test_experimental_highlighter

POST test_experimental_highlighter/test_type/
{
  "field": "value"
}

GET test_experimental_highlighter/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "field": "value"
    }
  },
  "highlight": {
    "type": "experimental",
    "fields": {
      "*": {}
    }
  }
}

Also, the plugin does not show up in the _nodes endpoint of my elasticsearch installation ...

It should work if you use 1.4.1.

Just trying to clear these out - if it doesn't show up in the _nodes endpoint it looks like the plugin isn't loading at all. Did you restart after installing it? Are you sure the jars are in the plugins directory?
