Hi,

I have 3 nodes for my index. I am using synonym filter with synonym .txt for few fields in my index.

Is it possible to use one file for all 3 nodes? Something like keeping it in network path and using that in `Synonym_path`?  
What is the best way to keep one file instead of updating multiple files when there is a change in synonyms.

`"synonym": { "type": "synonym", "synonyms_path": "//network/synonms/synonym.txt" }`

Error:  
`{ "error" : { "root_cause" : [{ "type" : "security_exception", "reason" : "access denied (\"java.io.FilePermission\" \"/Network/synonms/synonym.txt\" \"read\")" }], "type" : "security_exception", "reason" : "access denied (\"java.io.FilePermission\" \"/Network/synonms/synonym.txt\" \"read\")" }, "status" : 500 }`

Thank you
