Hi,  
I tried following configurations for my custom similarity provider but none  
of them worked with version 0.20. Can anyone give me some information about  
this setting for version 0.20.2? Any sample usages will be enough for me

curl -XPOST '[http://host](http://host):port/tweeter/' -d '  
{  
"settings": {  
"similarity": {  
"index": {  
"type": "org.elasticsearch.index.similarity.CustomSimilarityProvider"  
},  
"search": {  
"type": "org.elasticsearch.index.similarity.CustomSimilarityProvider"  
}  
}  
}  
}

index.similarity.index.type  
index.similarity.search.type

None of these works.

Thanks...

Hello,

you should try this command :

curl -XPOST '[http://host](http://host):port/tweeter/' -d '  
{  
"settings": {  
"index": {  
"similarity": {  
"index": {  
"type":  
"org.elasticsearch.index.similarity.CustomSimilarityProvider"  
},  
"search": {  
"type":  
"org.elasticsearch.index.similarity.CustomSimilarityProvider"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

I hope it can help you.

Regards

Benjamin

I have no error messages. It seems that this setting is different before  
version 0.20. Since there is no documentation about this, I cannot  
configure it properly.

I use a custom similarity on Elasticsearch 0.20.1 and it work perfectly  
well.

If you dont have any error message when you create your index, then your  
custom similarity should be enable for search and index operations on this  
index.

May be your problem is caused by the way your similarity provider is  
implemented. Can you post the code ?

Regards

Benjamin

Your implementation looks good.

But to get payload working in elasticsearch, a custom similarity is not  
enough.

You need also to implement several custom elements :

- a token filter : to index payload values
- a query parser : to score using payload values

Do you have all these elements working ?

Benjamin

I have token filter. But not query parser. I use more like this query  
directly. I will not use token payloads on query, I want to use token  
payloads stored by filter on index time. Do I still need a query parser  
even if I use more like this query?

It is not working, because the "more like this" query do not call the  
scorePayload method to score the results.

To use payloads, you need a custom query parser with a query having a  
scoring method that take in account payloads.

You can see documentation about lucene PayloadTermQuery and  
PayloadNearQuery.

The best option here to use morelikethis query is modify it to take  
payloads into account. I think I can do this by sub-classing payload query  
and multiply tf value used by query by payload of that term. What do you  
think about this design? Actually I need a categorizer which when I enter a  
text will return best matching categories based on predefined terms and  
payloads for categories. I select more like this query for this purpose.  
Payloads are important because I will assign negative payloads to negative  
samples or terms.

Yes you can try by subclassing morelikethis query to customize its scoring  
logic.

Sorry, but I cannot confirm you it will be work.

Please, give us update on this.
