I would like to use myindex/\_analyze?analyzer too get list of tokens ES is using in my query to attempt client side highlighting. I noticed that it is very slow relative to the query itself. While query takes 20-30ms (browser measured roundtrip time) analyze call takes over 200ms Is there any way to speedup this call?

If you are using Java, then you can recreate the analysis service locally and avoiding doing network calls. Your Elasticsearch config file and another external files such as synonyms would need to be in your classpath. Look at the test classes for implementation details. -- Ivan On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 9:23 AM, AlexR [roytmana@gmail.com](mailto:roytmana@gmail.com) wrote: > I would like to use myindex/\_analyze?analyzer too get list of tokens ES is > using in my query to attempt client side highlighting. > I noticed that it is very slow relative to the query itself.
