I am using version 0.90.3 with kuromoji 1.5. After install, I can't seem to  
use the analyzer. I run:

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/k/](http://localhost:9200/k/)' -d '{  
"analysis" : {  
"analyzer" : {  
"\_kuromoji" : {  
"type" : "kuromoji"  
}  
}  
}  
}'

but get an error:  
{  
"error": "IndexCreationException[[k] failed to create index]; nested:  
ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer type  
[kuromoji] or tokenizer for [\_kuromoji]]; nested:  
NoClassSettingsException[Failed to load class setting [type] with value  
[kuromoji]]; nested:  
ClassNotFoundException[org.elasticsearch.index.analysis.kuromoji.KuromojiAnalyzerProvider];  
",  
"status": 400  
}

The class name seems wrong in the error message. The kuromoji package  
doesn't seem to exist in the repo. I get the same error for the  
smart\_chinese plugin. Has anyone got these to work?

never mind, restarting the node did the trick
