Mapping_path option in char filter

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi All,

Can some one guide me how to write own custom char filter using Mapping_path parameter..

We can write with Mapping parameter where we can give key value pair. I do not want to reindex my data every time, hence want to put all mapping items in a file and while reindexing data character file picks up mapping filter from a physical file.

If you are referring to a mappings_path configuration of the Mapping Char Filter then this is available ever since version 2.0.

Also, keep in mind that the mappings_path file is loaded once the index is opened and won't be reloaded anymore (unless index is closed/opened)
