I want to use custom snowball analyser (for Slovenian language). I  
found a working .sbl (snowball stemmer) file and build java class  
using snowball, have tested it and it works. Snowball files are  
included in lucene-analyzers-\*.jar file (with elasticsearch), how can  
I use this file with elasticsearch?

I would appreciate any info. 10x
