Elasticsearch "failed to find analyzer" - elasticsearch

Question

I have created a synonym analyser on an index:
curl http://localhost:9200/test_index/_settings?pretty
{
"test_index" : {
"settings" : {
"index" : {
"creation_date" : "1429175067557",
"analyzer" : {
"search_synonyms" : {
"filter" : [ "lowercase", "search_synonym_filter" ],
"tokenizer" : "standard"
}
},
"uuid" : "Zq6Id8xsRWGofJrNCb7M8w",
"number_of_replicas" : "1",
"analysis" : {
"filter" : {
"search_synonym_filter" : {
"type" : "synonym",
"synonyms" : [ "sneakers,pumps" ]
}
}
},
"number_of_shards" : "5",
"version" : {
"created" : "1050099"
}
}
}
}
}
But when I try to use it with the mapping:
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test_index/_mapping/product_catalog?pretty' -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"product_catalog": {"properties" : {"name": {"type": "string", "include_in_all": true, "analyzer":"search_synonyms"} }}}'
I get the error:
{
"error" : "MapperParsingException[Analyzer [search_synonyms] not found for field [name]]",
"status" : 400
}
I have also tried to just check the analyser with:
curl 'http://localhost:9200/test_index/_analyze?analyzer=search_synonyms&pretty=1&text=pumps'
but still get an error:
ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer [search_synonyms]]
Any ideas, I may be missing something but I can't think what.

The analyzer element has to be inside your analysis component. Change your index creator as follows:
{
"settings": {
"index": {
"creation_date": "1429175067557",
"uuid": "Zq6Id8xsRWGofJrNCb7M8w",
"number_of_replicas": "0",
"analysis": {
"filter": {
"search_synonym_filter": {
"type": "synonym",
"synonyms": [
"sneakers,pumps"
]
}
},
"analyzer": {
"search_synonyms": {
"filter": [
"lowercase",
"search_synonym_filter"
],
"tokenizer": "standard"
}
}
},
"number_of_shards": "5",
"version": {
"created": "1050099"
}
}
}
}
