Error Encoding Event: LocalJumpError: unexpected next

[AlexClineBB]

I'm running into an issue during an upgrade from logstash 1.4.2 to 2.2.3. Using the following simple logstash configuration, every event triggers the following error:

input {
  file {
    path => [ "/mnt/log/syslogs/*/*/*/*/nginx/*.access.log" ]
    type => "nginx_access_log"
  }
}

output {
  if [type] == "nginx_access_log" or [type] == "nginx_error_log" {
    redis {
      host => "redisserver.example.com"
      key => "logstash"
    }
  }
}

The event that triggered the above error is this one:

Apr  6 01:19:09 mesos-hybrid-use1b-prod-dsg-90 example_m_access 80.12.96.117 - - [06/Apr/2016:01:19:09 +0000] "GET /akamai/sureroute-test-object.html HTTP/1.1" 303 200 "-" "-" 0.210 0.210 - - m.example.com - - BYPASS "example.m.dbbf8cd3-f81a-11e5-af74-0a6988c82749" 303

The same configuration works correctly in version 1.4.2. I used the .deb download of 2.2.3 from the elastic.co website.

/opt/logstash/bin/logstash --version
logstash 2.2.3

Searching on Google for the above error message doesn't reveal any information.

There is the same error at logstash-plugins/logstash-output-redis#26, could you please move your message there so we have all in one place? that would be awesome!

we try to keep all issues in their plugins and this belongs to the redis output 👍

Closing this issue as a dupe of logstash-plugins/logstash-output-redis#26

Thanks for the quick response. I guess Google hasn't caught up with the recent github issues for these projects.
