thank you for help me !

i want to set the stop word by the stopwords\_path , i set a lot word in the `stopwords.txt` file , most of the word in the file is effective but only the whitespace char is not effective

```auto
PUT jieba_test
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "filter": {
        "jieba_stop": {
          "type": "stop",
          "stopwords_path": "stopwords.txt"
        }
      },
      "analyzer": {
        "my_ana": {
          "tokenizer": "jieba_index",
          "filter": [
            "lowercase",
            "jieba_stop"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

when i change the setting by `stopwords` setting like below ,it is ok

```auto
PUT jieba_test02
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "filter": {
        "jieba_stop": {
          "type": "stop",
          "stopwords": [" ", "is", "the"]
        }
      },
      "analyzer": {
        "my_ana": {
          "tokenizer": "jieba_index",
          "filter": [
            "lowercase",
            "jieba_stop"
