It works. I've been using it for the past few days. Like it says, you have to close the index and reopen it. From then on new documents will be analysed with the new way. If you want to re-analyse your old documents you'll have to reindex them all. --Nik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks all. I'm using the Java API to create indexes, and I provide the settings, analysis, and mappings at that time. This is with CreateIndexRequest and calling setSource() with everything, and explicitly calling setMappings() to ensure it takes the mappings. There's no errors, and the index appears fine. I suspect thought that it's not taking my analysis config because when I call the settings REST api below to see my analyzers, it's not there. Going to look at the Java code further. Maybe I need to make another API call to set the analyzers. Would like to avoid that though so that I only need to make a single call to create an index with all its configuration.
