Vietnamese Analysis Plugin for OpenSearch

Vietnamese Analysis plugin integrates Vietnamese language analysis into OpenSearch. It uses C++ tokenizer for Vietnamese library developed by CocCoc team for their Search Engine and Ads systems.

The plugin provides vi_analyzer analyzer, vi_tokenizer tokenizer and vi_stop stop filter. The vi_analyzer is composed of the vi_tokenizer tokenizer and stop filter.

Example output

GET /_analyze
{
  "analyzer": "vi_analyzer",
  "text": "công nghệ thông tin việt nam"
}

The above sentence would produce the following terms:

["công nghệ", "thông tin", "việt nam"]

Configuration

The vi_analyzer analyzer accepts the following parameters:

• dict_path The path to tokenizer dictionary on system. Defaults to /usr/share/tokenizer/dicts.

• keep_punctuation Keep punctuation marks as tokens. Defaults to false.

• split_url If it's enabled (true), a domain duydo.me is split into ["duy", "do", "me"]. If it's disabled (false) duydo.me is split into ["duydo", "me"]. Defaults to false.

• stopwords A pre-defined stop words list like _vi_ or an array containing a list of stop words. Defaults to stopwords.txt file.

• stopwords_path The path to a file containing stop words.

Example configuration

In this example, we configure the vi_analyzer analyzer to keep punctuation marks and to use the custom list of stop words:

PUT my-vi-index-00001
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "my_vi_analyzer": {
          "type": "vi_analyzer",
          "keep_punctuation": true,
          "stopwords": ["rất", "những"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

GET my-vi-index-00001/_analyze
{
  "analyzer": "my_vi_analyzer",
  "text": "công nghệ thông tin Việt Nam rất phát triển trong những năm gần đây."
}

The above example produces the following terms:

["công nghệ", "thông tin", "việt nam", "phát triển", "trong", "năm", "gần đây", "."]

Build from Source

Step 1: Build C++ tokenizer for Vietnamese library

git clone https://github.com/coccoc/coccoc-tokenizer.git
cd coccoc-tokenizer && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DBUILD_JAVA=1 ..
make install

Refer the repo for more information to build the library.

Step 2: Build the plugin

Clone the plugin’s source code:

git clone https://github.com/duydo/opensearch-analysis-vietnamese.git

Optionally, edit the opensearch-analysis-vietnamese/pom.xml to change the version of OpenSearch (same as plugin version) you want to build the plugin with:

...
<groupId>org.opensearch</groupId>
<artifactId>opensearch-analysis-vietnamese</artifactId>
<version>1.3.2</version>
...

Build the plugin:

cd opensearch-analysis-vietnamese
mvn package

Step 3: Installation the plugin on OpenSearch

bin/opensearch-plugin install file://target/releases/opensearch-analysis-vietnamese-1.3.2.zip
