The default elasticsearch.yml is quite extensive with lots of config, which is great because you can easily add config params to your node. However for our project we need to add filters and analyzers to the index.analysis "object" in elasticsearch.yml. This makes the elasticsearch.yml a bit confusing as lot's of the file are about how elasticsearch runs. I want to put the index.analysis stuff in a different file for clarity. Is it possible to do so? Thanks -- ---

I have looked into this issue as well. yml is a loose standard. Other projects have created ways to incorporate "include" files, but there is nothing in the official specification for them. Creating a mechanism for include files should not be too hard, the question is if you want to diverege from the original yml spec. My reasoning for using a separate file is that the analysis portion of the yml file changing for more often than the rest. It would be easier to keep track/distribute of changes in a smaller file. -- Ivan On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 7:25 AM, Jaap Taal [jaap@q42.nl](mailto:jaap@q42.nl) wrote: > The default elasticsearch.yml is quite extensive with lots of config, which > is great because you can easily add config params to your node. > However for our project we need to add filters and analyzers to the > index.analysis "object" in elasticsearch.yml. > This makes the elasticsearch.yml a bit confusing as lot's of the file are > about how elasticsearch runs. > > I want to put the index.analysis stuff in a different file for clarity.
