Hi all.  
I hava a NER model from ApacheNLP ner.bin.  
I need process a text into field text\_ner using this NER, transforming tags[1] in anothers fields.

Is there any plugin that I can point to ner.bin and elastic do this work for me?  
Or do I have to build these plugin?

[1] Tags resulting from named entity processing.

Regards,  
Alder

I wrote such a plugin a while back, where you can use your own Apache OpenNLP models. You can check it out at [https://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-ingest-opennlp](https://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-ingest-opennlp)
