@lukas-vlcek are you able to provide documentation for this feature? Thinking this could go here: https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/analyzers/index/. Check out https://github.com/opensearch-project/documentation-website for the source for the docs if you haven't before...

Thanks!

@macohen I created a PR to add documentation around new API option here #6252
However, the list of text analysis components is NOT currently included in _cat API because the information does not fit tab separated output very well.

Shall we close this ticket for now? The discussion can still go on and we can reopen if we find good representation of the information for _cat API. I am open to any suggestions but currently it is only part of Nodes API.

Yes, we can close this and revisit when appropriate. Thanks!
