How get custome analyzer source from elasticsearch? - elasticsearch

Question

I made a _mapping request to elasticsearch and see that for one field custom analyzer is used. The output for field like that:
"myFieldName": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "someCustomAnalyzer"
}
So is there are a way to get source for that someCustomAnalyzer? I have tried request curl -XGET localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=someCustomAnalyzer
and got:
{
"error": "ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[text is missing]",
"status": 400
}
If I add text argument for query string I got analyzing result for analyzing, but I need analyzer definition.

You can see it with settings. It's more readable now in 1.5 than it used to be.
So if I create an index with a non-trivial analyzer:
PUT /test_index
{
"settings": {
"number_of_shards": 1,
"analysis": {
"filter": {
"edge_ngram_filter": {
"type": "edge_ngram",
"min_gram": 2,
"max_gram": 20
}
},
"analyzer": {
"edge_ngram_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": [
"lowercase",
"edge_ngram_filter"
]
}
}
}
},
"mappings": {
"doc": {
"_all": {
"enabled": true,
"index_analyzer": "edge_ngram_analyzer",
"search_analyzer": "standard"
},
"properties": {
"first_name": {
"type": "string",
"include_in_all": true
},
"last_name": {
"type": "string",
"include_in_all": true
},
"ssn": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"include_in_all": true
}
}
}
}
}
I can get the index settings with:
GET /test_index/_settings
...
{
"test_index": {
"settings": {
"index": {
"creation_date": "1430394627755",
"uuid": "78oYlYU9RS6LZ5YFyeaMRQ",
"analysis": {
"filter": {
"edge_ngram_filter": {
"min_gram": "2",
"type": "edge_ngram",
"max_gram": "20"
}
},
"analyzer": {
"edge_ngram_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"filter": [
"lowercase",
"edge_ngram_filter"
],
"tokenizer": "standard"
}
}
},
"number_of_replicas": "1",
"number_of_shards": "1",
"version": {
"created": "1050099"
}
}
}
}
}
Here is the code I used:
