=== Korean (nori) Analysis Plugin

The Korean (nori) Analysis plugin integrates Lucene nori analysis
module into elasticsearch. It uses the https://bitbucket.org/eunjeon/mecab-ko-dic[mecab-ko-dic dictionary]
to perform morphological analysis of Korean texts.

[[analysis-nori-analyzer]]
==== `nori` analyzer

The `nori` analyzer consists of the following tokenizer and token filters:

* <<analysis-nori-tokenizer,`nori_tokenizer`>>
* <<analysis-nori-speech,`nori_part_of_speech`>> token filter
* <<analysis-nori-readingform,`nori_readingform`>> token filter
* {ref}/analysis-lowercase-tokenfilter.html[`lowercase`] token filter

It supports the `decompound_mode` and `user_dictionary` settings from
<<analysis-nori-tokenizer,`nori_tokenizer`>> and the `stoptags` setting from
<<analysis-nori-speech,`nori_part_of_speech`>>.

[[analysis-nori-tokenizer]]
==== `nori_tokenizer`

The `nori_tokenizer` accepts the following settings:

`decompound_mode`::
+
--

The decompound mode determines how the tokenizer handles compound tokens.
It can be set to:

`none`::

    No decomposition for compounds. Example output:

    가거도항
    가곡역

`discard`::

    Decomposes compounds and discards the original form (*default*). Example output:

    가곡역 => 가곡, 역

`mixed`::

    Decomposes compounds and keeps the original form. Example output:

    가곡역 => 가곡역, 가곡, 역
--

`user_dictionary`::
+
--
The Nori tokenizer uses the https://bitbucket.org/eunjeon/mecab-ko-dic[mecab-ko-dic dictionary] by default.
A `user_dictionary` with custom nouns (`NNG`) may be appended to the default dictionary.
The dictionary should have the following format:

[source,txt]
-----------------------
<token> [<token 1> ... <token n>]
-----------------------

The first token is mandatory and represents the custom noun that should be added in
the dictionary. For compound nouns the custom segmentation can be provided
after the first token (`[<token 1> ... <token n>]`). The segmentation of the
custom compound nouns is controlled by the `decompound_mode` setting.


As a demonstration of how the user dictionary can be used, save the following
dictionary to `$ES_HOME/config/userdict_ko.txt`:

[source,txt]
-----------------------
c++                 <1>
C샤프
세종
세종시 세종 시        <2>
-----------------------

<1> A simple noun
<2> A compound noun (`세종시`) followed by its decomposition: `세종` and `시`.

Then create an analyzer as follows:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT nori_sample
{
  "settings": {
    "index": {
      "analysis": {
        "tokenizer": {
          "nori_user_dict": {
            "type": "nori_tokenizer",
            "decompound_mode": "mixed",
            "user_dictionary": "userdict_ko.txt"
          }
        },
        "analyzer": {
          "my_analyzer": {
            "type": "custom",
            "tokenizer": "nori_user_dict"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

GET nori_sample/_analyze
{
  "analyzer": "my_analyzer",
  "text": "세종시"  <1>
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

<1> Sejong city

The above `analyze` request returns the following:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
  "tokens" : [ {
    "token" : "세종시",
    "start_offset" : 0,
    "end_offset" : 3,
    "type" : "word",
    "position" : 0,
    "positionLength" : 2    <1>
  }, {
    "token" : "세종",
    "start_offset" : 0,
    "end_offset" : 2,
    "type" : "word",
    "position" : 0
  }, {
    "token" : "시",
    "start_offset" : 2,
    "end_offset" : 3,
    "type" : "word",
    "position" : 1
   }]
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE

<1> This is a compound token that spans two positions (`mixed` mode).

You can also inline the rules directly in the tokenizer definition using
the `user_dictionary_rules` option:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------

    "index": {
      "analysis": {
        "tokenizer": {

            "decompound_mode": "mixed",
            "user_dictionary_rules": ["c++", "C샤프", "세종", "세종시 세종 시"]
          }
        },
        "analyzer": {
          "my_analyzer": {
            "type": "custom",
            "tokenizer": "nori_user_dict"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The `nori_tokenizer` sets a number of additional attributes per token that are used by token filters
to modify the stream.
You can view all these additional attributes with the following request:

[[analysis-nori-speech]]
==== `nori_part_of_speech` token filter

The `nori_part_of_speech` token filter removes tokens that match a set of
part-of-speech tags. The list of supported tags and their meanings can be found here:
{lucene-core-javadoc}/../analyzers-nori/org/apache/lucene/analysis/ko/POS.Tag.html[Part of speech tags]

It accepts the following setting:

`stoptags`::

    An array of part-of-speech tags that should be removed.

and defaults to:

--------------------------------------------------
"stoptags": [
    "E",
