We have fields that are created just for indexing, and we would like to strip the HTML and make it unique, before we put it into the field. I was thinking maybe we can just use the tokenizer filter directly to do this in Java - but couldn't make heads or tails on how to use that API ?
Thanks!

So for example:
\< p \> Hello there \< /p \> -\> Hello There.
This is a repeat repeat repeat -\> This is a repeat
We want to store those in the \_source field that way and save a ton of disk space. Basically we are good with storing it in \_source but want to remove the HTML and do unique tokenization and then string it together and put into the normal PUT.
