Hi.  
I am trying to set my own analyzer in elasticsearch.yml file. Problem  
is it is giving setting exception. Can somebody help me?

index :  
analysis :  
analyzer :  
standard :  
type : standard  
stopwords : [stop1, stop2]  
myAnalyzer1 :  
type : standard  
stopwords : [stop1, stop2, stop3]  
max\_token\_length : 500  
# configure a custom analyzer which is  
# exactly like the default standard analyzer  
myAnalyzer2 :  
type: pattern  
lowercase: true  
pattern: ,|OR|AND  
flag: "CASE\_INSENSITIVE|COMMENTS"

SettingsException[Failed to load settings from [file:/home/user/  
elasticsearch.yml]]

but found BlockMappingStart]

Regards.

This sounds like a YAML syntax error, but when I try the config you  
posted, I can parse it correctly.

I wonder if it is not something else in your config file which is  
throwing off the parsing.

I dumped the YAML that I parsed, and this was the output:

* * *

index:  
analysis:  
analyzer:  
myAnalyzer2:  
char\_filter:  
- my\_html  
filter:  
- myTokenFilter1  
- myTokenFilter2  
tokenizer: myTokenizer1  
type: custom  
myAnalyzer3:  
stopwords:  
- stop  
- stop1  
type: english  
char\_filter:  
my\_html:  
escaped\_tags:  
- xxx  
- yyy  
read\_ahead: 1024  
type: html\_strip  
filter:  
myTokenFilter1:  
synonyms\_path: synonym.txt  
type: synonym  
myTokenFilter2:  
max: 2000  
min: 0  
type: length  
tokenizer:  
myTokenizer1:
