Hi All, I am from .NET world and I already have my custom tokenizer which is very specific to my knowledge domain. I understand how to use my own analyzer/tokenizer with a standalone [Lucene.NET](http://Lucene.NET). However I have recently discovered ElasticSearch with its great distributed features. This is so great that I either will have to port my tokenizer to Java or will have to find some tricks. Could you please tell if it is possible to feed ElasticSearch with already tokenized fields from a different application? I could form a JSON document structure with all fields already tokenized by my own .NET application. If the previous option is not possible, I could write a very simple Analyzer in Java that will just consume the JSON structure from the previous step and transform already tokenized fields to the internal format. Do you think this is the simplest and good enough approach to marry a .NET tokenizer with ElasticSearch, or there are some other better options? Thanks!

The best route is really to translate your .NET code into Java and run the analyzer normally within the ES context. Don't mess with the internals too much. On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 1:48 AM, Victor B.
