FTS index creation with analysers using REST API

#1

Hi All,

I want to create a FTS index using REST api as below.

  • FTS index with type,typemapping with a custom analyser

  • Define a custom analyser with unicode tokens and to_lower token filter

Can I perform all of the above steps using Rest API?If so point me to reference Url?
Or else Do we need to manually create cusom analysers in the UI ?

Thanks

Yes, there is an endpoint for creating FTS indexes with all the details.
https://docs.couchbase.com/server/6.0/rest-api/rest-fts-indexing.html#p-api-index-name

Custom analysers, you may need to create over the UI.
But in this case, your custom analyser requirement is already available as a prebuilt one.

Go over that analyser link shared in the previous (https://docs.couchbase.com/server/6.0/fts/fts-using-analyzers.html) and try to figure it out.
If you aren’t able to figure it out even after that, may be its a pointer to improve our documentation.
( I shall post the response after a while)

Cheers!

Sreeks,
According to this url 's rest api section there is a direct example to create index for fts.
https://docs.couchbase.com/server/6.0/fts/fts-creating-indexes.html

It seems passing ‘simple’ to the analyser should satisfy my case which is (unicode tokenizer+to_lower)filter.

However it seems there is no rest api to create a custom analyser with arbitary filters ,tokenisers etc.
We have to create analyser from console in those specific cases and use rest api to bind the analyser to the fts.

Thanks
