Here is an example definition of the URI parts processor:

{
  "description" : "...",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "uri_parts": {
        "field": "input_field",
        "target_field": "url",
        "keep_original": true,
        "remove_if_successful": false
      }
    }
  ]
}

When the above processor executes on the following document:

{
  "_source": {
    "input_field": "http://myusername:mypassword@www.example.com:80/foo.gif?key1=val1&key2=val2#fragment"
  }
}

It produces this result:

"_source" : {
  "input_field" : "http://myusername:mypassword@www.example.com:80/foo.gif?key1=val1&key2=val2#fragment",
  "url" : {
    "path" : "/foo.gif",
    "fragment" : "fragment",
    "extension" : "gif",
    "password" : "mypassword",
    "original" : "http://myusername:mypassword@www.example.com:80/foo.gif?key1=val1&key2=val2#fragment",
    "scheme" : "http",
    "port" : 80,
    "user_info" : "myusername:mypassword",
    "domain" : "www.example.com",
    "query" : "key1=val1&key2=val2",
    "username" : "myusername"
  }
}
