Clinton was kind enough to provide me with a mapping in JSON that I have to  
convert to a properties file format. Here is his example:

curl -XPUT '[http://127.0.0.1:9200/test/?pretty=1](http://127.0.0.1:9200/test/?pretty=1)' -d '  
{  
"mappings" : {  
"test" : {  
"properties" : {  
"lang" : {  
"fields" : {  
"base" : {  
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : 1,  
"omit\_norms" : 1,  
"type" : "string",  
"analyzer" : "base\_lang"  
},  
"lang" : {  
"index" : "not\_analyzed",  
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : 1,  
"omit\_norms" : 1,  
"type" : "string"  
}  
},  
"type" : "multi\_field"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"settings" : {  
"analysis" : {  
"analyzer" : {  
"base\_lang" : {  
"tokenizer" : "base\_lang"  
}  
},  
"tokenizer" : {  
"base\_lang" : {  
"group" : 0,  
"pattern" : "^(\w\w)",  
"type" : "pattern"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
'

I have tries converting this to properties using:

index.analysis.analyzer.base\_lang.type=pattern  
index.analysis.analyzer.base\_lang.pattern=^(\w\w)  
index.analysis.analyzer.base\_lang.group=0

But this does not result in the appropriate results. Can anyone point me in  
the right direction?

Ahh, all I had to do is use the \_settings URL

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/test/\_settings?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/test/_settings?pretty=true)'  
{  
"test" : {  
"settings" : {  
"index.analysis.analyzer.base\_lang.tokenizer" : "base\_lang",  
"index.analysis.tokenizer.base\_lang.type" : "pattern",  
"index.analysis.tokenizer.base\_lang.pattern" : "^(\w\w)",  
"index.analysis.tokenizer.base\_lang.group" : "0",  
"index.number\_of\_shards" : "5",  
"index.number\_of\_replicas" : "1",  
"index.version.created" : "190399"  
}  
}  
}
