Is there any possibilty to configure synonms\_path with external machine url.  
Sample Config  
"synonym" : {  
"type" : "synonym",  
"synonyms\_path" : "[http://domain:8080/esconfigdata/synonyms.txt](http://domain:8080/esconfigdata/synonyms.txt)",  
"tokenizer" : "whitespace"  
}  
Thanks  
Vinoth

This has been requested before, but has trappiness and subtleties. See [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/25189](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/25189).
