Synonym filter not working query time?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get synonyms to work, but for some reason I'm unable to
create the index with synonym settings (acknowledge=False) and end up with
a cluster health state of red. The log file also doesn't show any errors.

Where is the synonyms.txt in the filesystem? It should be relative to the
config directory (es.path.conf).

The synonym path is getting resolved as absolute path first and then
against config directory. So, in your case the synonyms.txt file should be
in 'config' directory all data nodes. When it fails do you see any error
messages in log files on other nodes?

Ah, the synonym file was in the config directory of only the master, but
not in the rest of the data nodes. That solved it, thanks!

As a follow up question related more to the original prompt title, why
isn't the synonym filter applied to the supplied query? The analyzer for
synonyms only seem to be applied during index time, but when I apply the
analyzer to the query, it doesn't seem to work.

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/test/items/_mapping -d

"items": {
"properties": {
"name": {

{"ok":true,"acknowledged":true}

Indexing some documents:
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/test/items/1 -d '{ "name": "headache" }'
{"ok":true,"_index":"test2","_type":"items","_id":"1","_version":1}
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/test/items/2 -d '{ "name": "back pain" }'
{"ok":true,"_index":"test2","_type":"items","_id":"2","_version":1}
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/test/items/3 -d '{ "name": "head hurts" }'
{"ok":true,"_index":"test2","_type":"items","_id":"3","_version":1}

The analyzer looks fine:
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/test/_analyze?analyzer=name_analyzer -d
"head hurts"
{"tokens":[{"token":"headach","start_offset":0,"end_offset":10,"type":
"SYNONYM","position":1}]}

A normal query for a synonym term works as expected since the documents
have the synonym filter applied during index time:
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/test/items/_search -d
'{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query":"headaches",
"analyzer":"name_analyzer",
"default_field":"name"

}

{"took":2,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},
"hits":{"total":2,"max_score":0.30685282,"hits":[{"_index":"test2","_type":
"items","_id":"1","_score":0.30685282, "_source" : { "name": "headache" }},{
"_index":"test2","_type":"items","_id":"3","_score":0.30685282, "_source" :
{ "name": "head hurts" }}]}}

But then this query doesn't work as expected. Why wouldn't it map the query
"head hurts" to the synonym "headach"?

That's because query_string parses the query before it reaches the
analyzer. The query_string parser basically looks at the query and splits
it into two clauses "head" and "hurts" first and only then sends each
clause individually through analyzer. If you don't care about handling full
lucene query syntax, you can use the match query instead.

That makes sense now. Thanks, I'll give match query a try and see if it
suits our purposes.

Where is the synonyms.txt in the filesystem? It should be relative to
the config directory (es.path.conf).

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get synonyms to work, but for some reason I'm unable to
create the index with synonym settings (acknowledge=False) and end up with
a cluster health state of red. The log file also doesn't show any errors.

Index settings on ec2 cluster (3 nodes in cluster):
curl -XPUT 'http://[ec2]:9200/test/' -d
'{
"settings": {
"index": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"name_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": ["lowercase", "stop", "snowball",
"asciifolding", "synonym"]
}
},
"filter": {
"synonym": {
"type": "synonym",
"synonyms_path": "synonyms.txt",
"ignore_case": "true"
}
}
}
}
}
}'
{"ok":true,"acknowledged":false}

But if I take away the synonyms, I get acknowledged=True:
curl -XPUT 'http://[ec2]:9200/test/' -d
'{
"settings": {
"index": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"name_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": ["lowercase", "stop", "snowball",
"asciifolding"]
}
}
}
}
}
}'
{"ok":true,"acknowledged":true}

Also, however, if I run it locally, I get acknowledged=True as well:
curl -XPUT 'http://[ec2]:9200/test/' -d
'{
"settings": {
"index": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"name_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": ["lowercase", "stop", "snowball",
"asciifolding", "synonym"]
}
},
"filter": {
"synonym": {
"type": "synonym",
"synonyms_path": "synonyms.txt",
"ignore_case": "true"
}
}
}
}
}
}'
{"ok":true,"acknowledged":true}

synonyms.txt on the ec2 master and on local
pain head, head pain, head hurt, head throb, throb head => headache

Any thoughts? Thanks!
Irving
