Scripting changes
editScripting changes
editScripting syntax
editThe syntax for scripts has been made consistent across all APIs. The accepted format is as follows:
- Inline/Dynamic scripts
- Indexed scripts
- File scripts
For example, an update request might look like this:
POST my_index/my_type/1/_update { "script": { "inline": "ctx._source.count += val", "params": { "val": 3 } }, "upsert": { "count": 0 } }
A short syntax exists for running inline scripts in the default scripting language without any parameters:
GET _search { "script_fields": { "concat_fields": { "script": "doc['one'].value + ' ' + doc['two'].value" } } }
Scripting settings
editThe script.disable_dynamic
node setting has been replaced by fine-grained
script settings described in Scripting settings.
Groovy scripts sandbox
editThe Groovy sandbox and related settings have been removed. Groovy is now a non-sandboxed scripting language, without any option to turn the sandbox on.
Plugins making use of scripts
editPlugins that make use of scripts must register their own script context
through ScriptModule
. Script contexts can be used as part of fine-grained
settings to enable/disable scripts selectively.
