Ch03 elasticsearch.pig fails with ElasticSearch 0.90.0

[mathias]

It works up until the end when it tries to query for data, for which I receive:

{
  "error" : "IndexMissingException[[sent_counts] missing]",
  "status" : 404
}

ElasticSearch was running in another tab, and the operations to add data to it seem to have worked. The book specifies elasticsearch 0.20.2, I have ElasticSearch Version: 0.90.0, which might be part of it.

Anyone have a workaround?

(I'm using https://github.com/charlesflynn/agiledata which includes ElasticSearch 0.90.0, which is why I have that version. I can also try to downgrade, but thought someone might have a better fix going forward.)

I installed elasticsearch 0.20.2, but still had similar "IndexMissing" errors.

My IndexMissing problem appeared to be due to my version of Pig. I originally installed Pig 0.12.0. There appear to be differences in AvroStorage between Pig 0.12.x and Pig 0.11.x. After experiencing this problem, my plan became to work through the examples in the book using the listed software versions.
