CouchDB, Elastic Search, and River Plugin not operating correctly - couchdb

Question

I'm trying to get ElasticSearch to work, specifically with the River Plugin. For some reason I just can't get it to work. I've included the procedure I'm using to try and do it, found here:
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/_all/'
Response:
{
"ok": true,
"acknowledged": true
}
This is so I know I'm working with an empty set of elasticsearch instances.
I have an existing database, called test and the river plugin has already been installed. Is there anyway to test to confirm the River Plugin is installed and running?
I issue the following command:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_river/my_index/_meta' -d '{
"type" : "couchdb",
"couchdb" : {
"host" : "localhost",
"port" : 5984,
"db" : "my_couch_db",
"filter" : null
}
}'
my_couch_db is a real database, I see it in Futon. There is a document in it.
Response:
{
"ok": true,
"_index": "_river",
"_type": "my_index",
"_id": "_meta",
"_version": 1
}
Now at this point, my understanding is elasticseach should be working as I saw in the tutorial.
I try to query, just to find anything. I go to
http://localhost:9200/my_couch_db/my_couch_db.
Response:
No handler found for uri [/my_couch_db/my_couch_db] and method [GET]
What's weird is when I go to
localhost:5984/my_couch_db/__changes
I get
{
"error": "not_found",
"reason": "missing"
}
Anyone have any idea what part of this I'm screwing up?

I try to query, just to find anything.
I go to
http://localhost:9200/my_couch_db/my_couch_db.
try adding /_search (w/ optional ?pretty=true) at the end of your curl -XGET like so:
C:\>curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/my_couch_db/my_couch_db/_search?pretty=true"
{
"took": 0,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 10,
"successful": 10,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 1,
"max_score": 1.0,
"hits": [
{
"_index": "my_couch_db",
"_type": "my_couch_db",
"_id": "a2b52647416f2fc27684dacf52001b7b",
"_score": 1.0,
"_source": {
"_rev": "1-5e4efe372810958ed636d2385bf8a36d",
"_id": "a2b52647416f2fc27684dacf52001b7b",
"test": "hello"
}
}
]
}
}
What's weird is when I go to
localhost:5984/my_couch_db/__changes
I get {"error":"not_found","reason":"missing"}
try removing one of the underscores from your __changes and that should work like so:
C:\>curl -XGET "http://localhost:5984/my_couch_db/_changes"
{
"results": [
{
"seq": 1,
"id": "a2b52647416f2fc27684dacf52001b7b",
"changes": [
{
"rev": "1-5e4efe372810958ed636d2385bf8a36d"
}
]
}
],
"last_seq": 1
}
