I have installed kuromoji plugin on elastic search server (bin/plugin  
-install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji/1.1.0) in order to  
analyze japanese texts that are being stored in index. One of the mappings  
in index is:

"japaneseFirstname" : { "type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed", "analyzer"  
: "kuromoji"},

But when i try to insert value in this field, the server throws error. Are  
there any lucene dependencies that have to include on the server?

Caused by: org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: Analyzer  
[kuromoji] not found for field [japaneseFirstname]

ok never mind. The elastic search version that i was using was causing the  
issue. I had 0.19.10 installed which didn't recognize kuromoji. Updating  
it to latest version resolved the issue.
