Hi! I would like to ask question regarding to custom analyzer setting. My environment is below. 1 client node - 5.0.0 alpha4 3 regular node - 5.0.0 alpha4 I have installed kuromoji analysis plugin into all the nodes as below. Below is one example of the result. ``` [root@es-node1 elasticsearch]# bin/elasticsearch-plugin install analysis-kuromoji -> Downloading analysis-kuromoji from elastic -> Installed analysis-kuromoji ``` ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/2/21b946f546744befc87db836c2f11b17707246ea.PNG) However, when I create index with custom analyzer, it returns `Unknown tokenizer type [kuromoji_tokenizer] for [t_kuromoji]` I have referenced below page for example. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/analysis-custom-analyzer.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/analysis-custom-analyzer.html) Do I need to make any other changes to use custom analyzer? ---

Did you restart the elasticsearch after plugin installation? See : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-kuromoji.html#analysis-kuromoji](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-kuromoji.html#analysis-kuromoji) ---
