ElasticSearch Global Analyzer

I want to define a global analyzer in ElasticSearch. I edited the configuration file of ES (elasticsearch.yml) 

index :
   analysis :        
      analyzer :            
         myTestAnalyzer :                
            type : standard
            max_token_length : 50

and restarted the service.

When i run in Sense

GET /_analyze?analyzer=myTestAnalyzer
{"This is a test"}

I get

{ "error": "ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer [myTestAnalyzer]]", "status": 400 }

I have read in another post (define analyzer globally (ES)) that I need to create a mapping that uses the analyzer and then use that index in the analyzer call.

Can you please give me an example how to do that.

Thank you

While it is not possible to define a custom analyzer globally, you can use an index template to define it for all indices: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/defining-custom-analyzers-globally/27826

The only way to add a global analyzer is through installing an analysis plugin, see here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/creating-stable-plugins.html

Here is how you would add the mapping:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test_index/test/_mapping' -d '
{
    "test": {
        "properties": {
            "myField": {"type": "string"}
        },
    "analyzer": "myTestAnalyzer"
    }
}'

Instead of analyzer you could also use search_analyzer and index_analyzer if you want to specify different analyzers for search and index. (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-root-object-type.html#_index_search_analyzers)
