Pattern Analyzeredit
The pattern
analyzer uses a regular expression to split the text into terms.
The regular expression should match the token separators not the tokens
themselves. The regular expression defaults to \W+
(or all non-word characters).
Beware of Pathological Regular Expressions
The pattern analyzer uses Java Regular Expressions.
A badly written regular expression could run very slowly or even throw a StackOverflowError and cause the node it is running on to exit suddenly.
Read more about pathological regular expressions and how to avoid them.
Example outputedit
POST _analyze { "analyzer": "pattern", "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone." }
The above sentence would produce the following terms:
[ the, 2, quick, brown, foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog, s, bone ]
Configurationedit
The pattern
analyzer accepts the following parameters:
|
A Java regular expression, defaults to |
|
Java regular expression flags.
Flags should be pipe-separated, eg |
|
Should terms be lowercased or not. Defaults to |
|
A pre-defined stop words list like |
|
The path to a file containing stop words. |
See the Stop Token Filter for more information about stop word configuration.
Example configurationedit
In this example, we configure the pattern
analyzer to split email addresses
on non-word characters or on underscores (\W|_
), and to lower-case the result:
PUT my_index { "settings": { "analysis": { "analyzer": { "my_email_analyzer": { "type": "pattern", "pattern": "\\W|_", "lowercase": true } } } } } POST my_index/_analyze { "analyzer": "my_email_analyzer", "text": "John_Smith@foo-bar.com" }
The above example produces the following terms:
[ john, smith, foo, bar, com ]
CamelCase tokenizeredit
The following more complicated example splits CamelCase text into tokens:
PUT my_index { "settings": { "analysis": { "analyzer": { "camel": { "type": "pattern", "pattern": "([^\\p{L}\\d]+)|(?<=\\D)(?=\\d)|(?<=\\d)(?=\\D)|(?<=[\\p{L}&&[^\\p{Lu}]])(?=\\p{Lu})|(?<=\\p{Lu})(?=\\p{Lu}[\\p{L}&&[^\\p{Lu}]])" } } } } } GET my_index/_analyze { "analyzer": "camel", "text": "MooseX::FTPClass2_beta" }
The above example produces the following terms:
[ moose, x, ftp, class, 2, beta ]
The regex above is easier to understand as:
([^\p{L}\d]+) # swallow non letters and numbers, | (?<=\D)(?=\d) # or non-number followed by number, | (?<=\d)(?=\D) # or number followed by non-number, | (?<=[ \p{L} && [^\p{Lu}]]) # or lower case (?=\p{Lu}) # followed by upper case, | (?<=\p{Lu}) # or upper case (?=\p{Lu} # followed by upper case [\p{L}&&[^\p{Lu}]] # then lower case )
Definitionedit
The pattern
anlayzer consists of:
- Tokenizer
- Token Filters
-
- Lower Case Token Filter
- Stop Token Filter (disabled by default)
If you need to customize the pattern
analyzer beyond the configuration
parameters then you need to recreate it as a custom
analyzer and modify
it, usually by adding token filters. This would recreate the built-in
pattern
analyzer and you can use it as a starting point for further
customization:
