Usually used to support autocomplete on Japanese search terms. Note that the filter has a `mode` parameter, which should be set to `index` when used in an index analyzer and `query` when used in a search analyzer. Requires the `analysis-kuromoji` plugin. For information about installing the plugin, see [Additional plugins]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/install-and-configure/plugins/#additional-plugins).

Performs the following operations on a token stream sequentially:
1. Hashes each token in the stream.
2. Assigns the hashes to buckets, keeping only the smallest hashes of each bucket.
3. Outputs the smallest hash from each bucket as a token stream. [`multiplexer`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/analyzers/token-filters/multiplexer/) | N/A | Emits multiple tokens at the same position.
