[SOLVED] Keyword and custom analyzer

[axelfelix (alexandre)]

Hi all,

I want to be sure how elastic works. Can I put a field type to "keyword" and analyze it with a custom analyzer ? Or do I have to put the "text" type ?

It is not pretty clear to me. Maybe I don't have to care about the type from the moment I use a custom analyzer...

Thanks for your reply.

Have a nice day,
Alex

Not yet but it will be possible in 5.2.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

To sum up, with my version I need to use the "text" type to perform a custom analyze on it.

Thanks !
Alex
