```
            Index index = new Index(indexName);               

```

AnalysisService analysisService = new AnalysisService(index);  
NamedAnalyzer defaultIndexAnalyzer =  
analysisService.defaultIndexAnalyzer();  
System.out.println("default index  
analyzer::"+defaultIndexAnalyzer.name());  
NamedAnalyzer defaultSearchAnalyzer =  
analysisService.defaultSearchAnalyzer();  
System.out.println("default search  
analyzer::"+defaultSearchAnalyzer.name());

You can use get settings API for an index, if you explicitly specified it.  
If not, its the standard analyzer.
