I am trying to use a JEST Client to search the remotely located ElasticSearch index.

However I've ran into a problem - every single query, be it constructed using various builders or just default ES queries, everything returns com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException

Code:

String URL = "http://api.exiletools.com:80";
String API_KEY = "DEVELOPMENT-Indexer";

 JestClientFactory factory = new JestClientFactory();
        factory.setHttpClientConfig(new HttpClientConfig.Builder(URL)
                .defaultCredentials("apikey", API_KEY)
                .build());
 JestClient client = factory.getObject();

  qb = QueryBuilders
                    .boolQuery()
                    .must(QueryBuilders.termQuery("attributes.league", "Standard"))
                    .must(new TermQueryBuilder("attributes.equipType", "Ring"))
                    .must(new TermQueryBuilder("shop.verified", "yes"));
  searchSourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder();
  searchSourceBuilder.query(qb);

  query = searchSourceBuilder.toString();

  search = new Search.Builder(query).build();

  client.execute(search); // Here I get the error

As a final test I just copied the smallest query I could find from Jest integration test examples and just replaced the search terms there, to look like:

        query = "{\n"
                + "    \"query\" : {\n"
                + "        \"term\" : { \"shop.chaosEquiv\" : \"167\" }\n"
                + "    }\n"
                + "}";

This query when copied from the output stream looks like this: 

{
    "query" : {
        "term" : { "shop.chaosEquiv" : "167" }
    }
}

No trailing whitespaces or anything, looks valid to me.

Still getting the same error. Can anyone tell what is going on?

    Are you sure the ES cluster you're trying to reach is up and running? `MalformedJsonException` could be raised if ES is behind a proxy and/or the requests times out, what gets back is usually HTML and not JSON, hence why the JSON parser has trouble with it. Can you show how you're setting up your `client`? – Val Sep 22 '15 at 06:45
  • Code example added. The cluster is running, I have a Python script which the owner of the service created as an [example to test the connection](http://exiletools.com/blog/2015/08/25/tutorial-creating-a-simple-item-availability-notification-script-with-python/), and it works fine. – Shajirr Sep 22 '15 at 15:22
