Hi!  
I am working with my stopword list. Here is what going on. I use

```
"stopwords_path": "stopword/chinese.txt"

```

as my stopword list.  
And I find that, elasticsearch seem not can not read the chinese word in txt file.  
But it is ok to use

```
"stopwords": ["我"]

```

can someone provide any solution?

I'm getting the same result, the Chinese character isn't read from a file. It works from the Kibana console. I would advise you to file a bug.

Where do you put the file? And could you attach your file?
