Token filters that allow to decompose compound words. There are two
types available: `dictionary_decompounder` and
`hyphenation_decompounder`.

The following are settings that can be set for a compound word token
filter type:

|`word_list` |A list of words to use.

|`word_list_path` |A path (either relative to `config` location, or
absolute) to a list of words.

|`min_word_size` |Minimum word size(Integer). Defaults to 5.

|`min_subword_size` |Minimum subword size(Integer). Defaults to 2.

|`max_subword_size` |Maximum subword size(Integer). Defaults to 15.

|`only_longest_match` |Only matching the longest(Boolean). Defaults to
`false`

            myTokenFilter1 :
                type : dictionary_decompounder
                word_list: [one, two, three]                
            myTokenFilter2 :
