I have a custom stemming override file. Question is, is there any way to reload this file w/o restarting ES? I know I would have to re-index existing docs but still prefer to do it w/o having to restart ES.

you can create a new index and pass the new stems via the mapping, I mean this might make sense anyways here. simon On Saturday, March 16, 2013 5:29:59 AM UTC+1, Tinou Bao wrote: > I have a custom stemming override file.
