ElasticSearch：如何使用REST API定义自定义分析器？

Question

I want to define custom analyzers through the REST API (I'm using a hosted service - http://searchbox.io ), but I can't understand how to do it.

I'm trying to create a PUT request to /myindex/_settings with the following:

   index: {
            analysis: {
                    analyzer: {
                            "my_analyzer": {
                                    type: "snowball",
                                    language: "English"
                            }
                    }
            }
    }

but it doesn't work, if I index a field with "my_analyzer" set as the analyzer I'm getting an error that it doesn't exist..

Answer 1

I found the answer - those settings must be set when creating the index.

so a POST request to /myindex did it.
