When using a hyphenation decompounder filter, you can supply a hyphenation\_patterns\_path that points to an XML file. How would I go about using this feature on an Elastic Cloud instance? How do I upload that file, and how do I reference it from my index settings? ---

To answer my own question: 1. Create a zip file containing a "dictionaries" folder with the "hyphenation\_patterns.xml" file in it. 2. Upload the zip file as a "bundle" in you cloud account 3. Activate the bundle for your deployment/cluster 4. Reference the file as "hyphenation\_patterns\_path": "hyphenation\_patterns.xml" when creating your index. ---
