Hello everyone!

I can't understand do I need to reindex documents after adding char_filter 
to existing analyzer or not.  My experiment shows char_filter starts to 
work without reindex and this is surprise for me.  Can anyone explain how 
it works please?  Here are steps of my experiment, I use ElasticSearch 
0.90.13.

0.  Configure analyzer:

test1 :
  tokenizer : standard
  filter : [lowercase]

1.  Add thousand of documents to index:

{"name": "apple 0"}
{"name": "apple 1"}
{"name": "apple 2"}
...
{"name": "apple 999"}

Field "name" is analyzed by analyzer "test1".

2.  Add mapping char_filter to analyzer and restart ElasticSearch.  This is 
char_filter configuration:

char_filter :
  ab:
    type: mapping
    mappings: ["a=>b"]

3.  Query with text "bplle" returns results (and "apple" too)!

{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": "bpple"
    }
  }
}

Moreover, when I remove char_filter from analyzer it continues to find 
"bplle" but stops find "apple".  This confuses me too.
