# Elyzer

See step-by-step how Elasticsearch custom analyzers decompose your text into tokens.

My therapist said this would be a good idea...


Doug: hi
Eliza: How are you today.. What would you like to discuss?
Doug: well I can't really see how my Elasticsearch analyzers work, on the inside
Eliza: How do you know you can't really see how your Elasticsearch analyzers work, on the inside?
Doug: cause I call _analyze, and it does the whole analyzer or just one step
Eliza What other reasons might there be?
Doug: I guess nobody's gotten around to making a good debugger
Eliza I'm not sure I understand you fully.
Doug well just keep reading this README then...
Eliza Come, come, elucidate your thoughts.

# Installation

Install through pip3

(ES 2.x & 5.x)

pip3 install elyzer

# Usage

Give Elyzer some text and have its analyzed. See the process broken down step-by-step on the command line.

Assuming I'd created an `english_bigrams` custom analyzer for the index tmdb, I would run the analyzer like so

```
$ elyzer --es "http://localhost:9200" --index tmdb --analyzer english_bigrams "Mary had a little lamb"
TOKENIZER: standard
{1:Mary} {2:had} {3:a} {4:little} {5:lamb}
TOKEN_FILTER: standard
{1:Mary} {2:had} {3:a} {4:little} {5:lamb}
TOKEN_FILTER: lowercase
{1:mary} {2:had} {3:a} {4:little} {5:lamb}
TOKEN_FILTER: porter_stem
{1:mari} {2:had} {3:a} {4:littl} {5:lamb}
TOKEN_FILTER: bigram_filter
{1:mari had} {2:had a} {3:a littl} {4:littl lamb}
```

Output is each token, prefixed by the numerical position attribute in the token stream at each step.

## Args

There are four required command line args:

- es: the elasticsearch host (ie http://localhost:9200)
- index: name of the index where your custom analyzer can be found
- analyzer: name of your custom analyzer
- text: the text to analyze

# Shortcomings

aka "Areas for Improvement"
- Only works for custom analyzers right now (as it accesses the settings for your index)
- Attributes besides the token text and position would be handy
