title: How do I use elasticsearch wikipedia river?
body: <p>This might be a silly question, but I cannot find any information about this. I found the github but after I use the command nothing happened. </p>
  
  <p>So, after I installed the plugin, it worked fine, I used this command to create index.</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_river/my_river/_meta -d '
  {
      "type" : "wikipedia",
      "wikipedia" : {
          "url" : "http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2"
      },
      "index" : {
          "name" : "my_index",
          "type" : "my_type",
          "bulk_size" : 100
      }
  }
  '
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got this back.</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"ok":true,"_index":"_river","_type":"my_river","_id":"_meta","_version":3}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which also worked fine. But it didn't do anything apart from that. I'm expecting the plugin to download and index the document and make it searchable. It seems like I have to do some other command but I cannot find it anywhere. I'm new to elasticsearch by the way. Please help.</p>
