-# Split processor
-Introduced 2.16
-{: .label .label-purple }
-
-The `split` processor splits a string field into an array of substrings based on a specified delimiter.
-
-## Request fields
-
-The following table lists all available request fields.
-
-Field | Data type | Description
-:--- | :--- | :---
-`field` | String | The field containing the string to be split. Required.
-`separator` | String | The delimiter used to split the string. Specify either a single separator character or a regular expression pattern. Required.
-`preserve_trailing` | Boolean | If set to `true`, preserves empty trailing fields (for example, `''`) in the resulting array. If set to `false`, then empty trailing fields are removed from the resulting array. Default is `false`.
-`target_field` | String | The field in which the array of substrings is stored. If not specified, then the field is updated in place.
-`tag` | String | The processor's identifier.
-`description` | String | A description of the processor.
-`ignore_failure` | Boolean | If `true`, then OpenSearch [ignores any failure]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/search-pipelines/creating-search-pipeline/#ignoring-processor-failures) of this processor and continues to run the remaining processors in the search pipeline. Optional. Default is `false`.
-
-## Example
-
-The following example demonstrates using a search pipeline with a `split` processor.
-
-### Setup
-
-Create an index named `my_index` and index a document containing the field `message`:
-
-```json
-POST /my_index/_doc/1
-{
- "message": "ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data",
- "visibility": "public"
-}
-```
-{% include copy-curl.html %}
-
-### Creating a search pipeline
-
-The following request creates a search pipeline with a `split` response processor that splits the `message` field and stores the results in the `split_message` field:
-
-```json
-PUT /_search/pipeline/my_pipeline
-{
- "response_processors": [
- {
- "split": {
- "field": "message",
- "separator": ", ",
- "target_field": "split_message"
- }
- }
- ]
-}
-```
-{% include copy-curl.html %}
-
-### Using a search pipeline
-
-Search for documents in `my_index` without a search pipeline:
-
-```json
-GET /my_index/_search
-```
-{% include copy-curl.html %}
-
-The response contains the field `message`:
-
-
-
- Response
-
- {: .text-delta}
-```json
-{
- "took": 3,
- "timed_out": false,
- "_shards": {
- "total": 1,
- "successful": 1,
- "skipped": 0,
- "failed": 0
- },
- "hits": {
- "total": {
- "value": 1,
- "relation": "eq"
- },
- "max_score": 1,
- "hits": [
- {
- "_index": "my_index",
- "_id": "1",
- "_score": 1,
- "_source": {
- "message": "ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data",
- "visibility": "public"
- }
- }
- ]
- }
-}
-```
-
-
-To search with a pipeline, specify the pipeline name in the `search_pipeline` query parameter:
-
-```json
-GET /my_index/_search?search_pipeline=my_pipeline
-```
-{% include copy-curl.html %}
-
-The `message` field is split and the results are stored in the `split_message` field:
-
-
-
- Response
-
- {: .text-delta}
-
-```json
-{
- "took": 6,
- "timed_out": false,
- "_shards": {
- "total": 1,
- "successful": 1,
- "skipped": 0,
- "failed": 0
- },
- "hits": {
- "total": {
- "value": 1,
- "relation": "eq"
- },
- "max_score": 1,
- "hits": [
- {
- "_index": "my_index",
- "_id": "1",
- "_score": 1,
- "_source": {
- "visibility": "public",
- "message": "ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data",
- "split_message": [
- "ingest",
- "search",
- "visualize",
- "and analyze data"
- ]
- }
- }
- ]
- }
-}
-```
-
-
-You can also use the `fields` option to search for specific fields in a document:
-
-```json
-POST /my_index/_search?pretty&search_pipeline=my_pipeline
-{
- "fields": ["visibility", "message"]
-}
-```
-{% include copy-curl.html %}
-
-In the response, the `message` field is split and the results are stored in the `split_message` field:
-
-
-
- Response
-
- {: .text-delta}
-
-```json
-{
- "took": 7,
- "timed_out": false,
- "_shards": {
- "total": 1,
- "successful": 1,
- "skipped": 0,
- "failed": 0
- },
- "hits": {
- "total": {
- "value": 1,
- "relation": "eq"
- },
- "max_score": 1,
- "hits": [
- {
- "_index": "my_index",
- "_id": "1",
- "_score": 1,
- "_source": {
- "visibility": "public",
- "message": "ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data",
- "split_message": [
- "ingest",
- "search",
- "visualize",
- "and analyze data"
- ]
- },
- "fields": {
- "visibility": [
- "public"
- ],
- "message": [
- "ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data"
- ],
- "split_message": [
- "ingest",
- "search",
- "visualize",
- "and analyze data"
- ]
- }
- }
- ]
- }
-}
-```
