How to run a single specific analyzer or filter in Elasticsearch?

Question

I would like to see how different analyzers and filters respond to my input. I don't want to run all analyzers defined for a field in my index mapping, I want to be able to run them 1) individually and 2) without reindexing.

It looks like it should be done this way:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=standard' -d 'this is a test'

as described at Elasticsearch Analyze API, but it doesn't work for me. Has the API changed in some way?

This is what I am getting:

No handler found for uri [/_analyze?analyzer=standard] and method [GET]

Answer 1

Solved, it works in Elasticsearch v 0.19 only.
