I want to use token filters which require some helper files in the config directory (e.g. the hyphenation decompounder token filter, which requires an xml file in the _hyphenation\_patterns\_path_ parameter).  
The docs says: _This path must be absolute or relative to the config location_. ([Hyphenation decompounder token filter | Elasticsearch Guide [8.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-hyp-decomp-tokenfilter.html))

I build Elasticsearch from docker and host on Azure Kubernetes cluster.  
My question is how can I upload files to this config directory on Elasticsearch?  
Is there any API to upload a file, or where can I find this directory in Kubernetes?  
Thank you in advance.
