Whitespace tokenizer

The whitespace tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a whitespace character.

 POST _analyze { "tokenizer": "whitespace", "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone." } 

The above sentence would produce the following terms:

 [ The, 2, QUICK, Brown-Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone. ] 

The whitespace tokenizer accepts the following parameters:

max_token_length

The maximum token length. If a token is seen that exceeds this length then it is split at max_token_length intervals. Defaults to 255.
