Hello guys,

I'm new to Elasticsearch and I apologize if my question is a bad one.

I installed Smart Chinese Analysis plugin 2.7.0, restarted elasticsearch server and tried to see how my analyser splits chinese characters, like this:  
PUT /test\_chinese  
{  
"settings": {  
"index": {  
"analysis": {  
"analyzer": {  
"default": {  
"type": "smartcn"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

GET /test\_chinese/\_analyze?text='你好，世界'

But instead of getting the Chinese tokens, I get some numbers. Could you help me?
