title: How To index data in elastic search
body: <p>I am newbie in information retrieval domain. My task is to index large raw data in txt format into elasticsearch. I already crawled my data and stored it onto disk.<br/>
  Now I installed elasticsearch(0.19.9 , I am using windows xp. I set the java_home variable and ran the elasticsearch.bat). After installing elasticsearch I tested it hitting <code>http:/localhost:9200</code> on browser and got response. Now if I try to create index by using help on elasticsearch website </p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -XPUT http:/localhost:9200/elasticsearch/tweet/1 -d '{
    "post_date": "2009-11-15T14:12:12",
    "message": "Zug Zug",
    "tag": "warcraft"
  }'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error, <code>IndexMissingException[elasticsearch]</code>. So I am not able to create index.
  I am hitting browser directly, instead of using curl.</p>
