When I create the index with settings, the response is `[es/indices.create] failed: [illegal_argument_exception] unknown setting [index.settings.analysis.analyzer.custom.type]`  
so how I should resolve this problem?  
the ES version is 8.2.0  
the JDK version is 17

Hi @liushida

Remove the "settings" like this:

```auto
 Reader queryJson = new StringReader(
        "{\n"
            + " \"analysis\": {\n"
            + " \"analyzer\": {\n"
            + " \"custom\": {\n"
            + " \"type\": \"custom\",\n"
            + " \"tokenizer\": \"standard\"\n"
            + " }\n"
            + " }\n"
            + " }\n"
            + "}");

    var createIndexRequest = new Builder().index("books")
        .settings(new IndexSettings.Builder().withJson(queryJson).build()).build();
    var result = client.indices().create(createIndexRequest).acknowledged();
    System.out.println(result);

```
