== Painless Scripting Language
_Painless_ is a simple, secure scripting language built in to Elasticsearch as a module.
It is designed specifically for use with Elasticsearch and can safely be used dynamically.
A Painless script is essentially a single function. Painless does not provide support
for defining multiple functions within a script. The Painless syntax is similar to
http://groovy-lang.org/index.html[Groovy].
You can use Painless anywhere a script can be used in Elasticsearch--simply set the `lang` parameter
to `painless`.
[[painless-features]]
[float]
=== Painless Features
* Control flow: `for` loops, `while` loops, `do/while` loops, `if/else`
* Fully Typed: all available types/methods described in <<painless-api, Painless API>>
* Arithmetic operators: multiplication `*`, division `/`, addition `+`, subtraction `-`, precedence `( )`
* Comparison operators: less than `<`, less than or equal to `<=`, greater than `>`, greater than or equal to `>=`, equal to `==`, and not equal to `!=`, reference equals `===`, reference not equals `!==`
* Boolean operators: not `!`, and `&&`, or `||`
* Bitwise operators: shift left `<<`, shift right `>>`, unsigned shift `>>>`, and `&`, or `|`, xor `^`, not `~`
* Shortcuts for list, map access using the dot `.` operator

=== Painless Examples
To illustrate how Painless works, let's load some hockey stats into an Elasticsearch index:
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/1 -d '{"first":"johnny", "last":"gaudreau", "goals":[9, 27, 1], "assists":[17, 46, 0], "gp":[26, 82, 1]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/2 -d '{"first":"sean", "last":"monohan", "goals":[7, 54, 26], "assists":[11, 26, 13], "gp":[26, 82, 82]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/3 -d '{"first":"jiri", "last":"hudler", "goals":[5, 34, 36], "assists":[11, 62, 42], "gp":[24, 80, 79]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/4 -d '{"first":"micheal", "last":"frolik", "goals":[4, 6, 15], "assists":[8, 23, 15], "gp":[26, 82, 82]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/5 -d '{"first":"sam", "last":"bennett", "goals":[5, 0, 0], "assists":[8, 1, 0], "gp":[26, 1, 0]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/6 -d '{"first":"dennis", "last":"wideman", "goals":[0, 26, 15], "assists":[11, 30, 24], "gp":[26, 81, 82]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/7 -d '{"first":"david", "last":"jones", "goals":[7, 19, 5], "assists":[3, 17, 4], "gp":[26, 45, 34]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/8 -d '{"first":"tj", "last":"brodie", "goals":[2, 14, 7], "assists":[8, 42, 30], "gp":[26, 82, 82]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/9 -d '{"first":"mark", "last":"giordano", "goals":[6, 30, 15], "assists":[3, 30, 24], "gp":[26, 60, 63]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/10 -d '{"first":"mikael", "last":"backlund", "goals":[3, 15, 13], "assists":[6, 24, 18], "gp":[26, 82, 82]}'
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/11 -d '{"first":"joe", "last":"colborne", "goals":[3, 18, 13], "assists":[6, 20, 24], "gp":[26, 67, 82]}'
----------------------------------------------------------------
[float]
==== Accessing Doc Values from Painless
All Painless scripts take in a `Map<String,def>` of values called `input`. Document values can be accessed through another `Map<String,def>` within the `input` variable.
For example, the following script calculates a player's total goals. This example uses a strongly typed `int` and a `for` loop.
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/_search -d '{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"script_score" : {
"script" : {
"inline":
"int total = 0; for (int i = 0; i < input.doc.goals.size(); ++i) { total += input.doc.goals[i]; } return total;",
"lang": "painless"
}
}
}
}
}'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, you could do the same thing using a script field instead of a function score:
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/_search -d '{
"query": {
"match_all": {}},
"script_fields": {
"total_goals": {
"script": {
"inline": "int total = 0; for (int i = 0; i < input.doc.goals.size(); ++i) { total += input.doc.goals[i]; } return total;",
"lang": "painless"
}
}
}
}'
----------------------------------------------------------------
You must always specify the index of the field value you want, even if there's only a single item in the field.
All fields in Elasticsearch are multi-valued and Painless does not provide a `.value` shortcut. The following example uses a Painless script to sort the players by their combined first and last names. The names are accessed using
`input.doc.first.0` and `input.doc.last.0`.
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/_search -d '{
"query" : {
"match_all": {}},
"sort" : {
"_script" : {
"type" : "string",
"script" : {"inline": "input.doc.first.0 + \" \" + input.doc.last.0",
"lang": "painless"},
"order" : "asc"
}
}
}'
----------------------------------------------------------------
[float]
==== Updating Fields with Painless
You can also easily update fields. You access the original source for a field as `input.ctx._source.<field-name>`.
First, let's look at the source data for a player by submitting the following request:
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/_search -d '{
"fields" : ["_id", "_source"], "query" : {
"term" : { "_id" : 1 }
}
}'
----------------------------------------------------------------
To change player 1's last name to _hockey_, simply set `input.ctx._source.last` to the new value:
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/1/_update -d '{
"script": {
"inline": "input.ctx._source.last = input.last",
"params": {"last": "hockey"},
"lang": "painless"
}
}'
----------------------------------------------------------------
You can also add fields to a document. For example, this script adds a new field that contains
the player's nickname, _hockey_.
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/player/1/_update -d '{
"script": {
"inline": "input.ctx._source.last = input.last input.ctx._source.nick = input.nick",
"params": {"last": "gaudreau", "nick": "hockey"},
"lang": "painless"
}
}'
----------------------------------------------------------------
[float]
==== Writing Type-Safe Scripts to Improve Performance
If you explicitly specify types, the compiler doesn't have to perform type lookups at runtime, which can significantly
improve performance. For example, the following script performs the same first name, last name sort we showed before,
but it's fully type-safe.
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/hockey-stats/_search -d '{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"script_fields": {
"full_name_dynamic": {
"script": {
"inline": "def first = input.doc.first.0; def last = input.doc.last.0; return first + \" \" + last;",
"lang": "painless"
}
},
"full_name_static": {
"script": {
"inline":
"String first = (String)((List)((Map)input.get(\"doc\")).get(\"first\")).get(0); String last = (String)((List)((Map)input.get(\"doc\")).get(\"last\")).get(0); return first + \" \" + last;",
"lang": "painless"
}
}
}
}'

== Scripting
The scripting module allows to use scripts in order to evaluate custom
expressions. For example, scripts can be used to return "script fields"
as part of a search request, or can be used to evaluate a custom score
for a query and so on.
The scripting module enables you to use scripts to evaluate custom
expressions. For example, you could use a script to return "script fields"
as part of a search request or evaluate a custom score for a query.
The scripting module uses by default http://groovy-lang.org/[groovy]
(previously http://mvel.codehaus.org/[mvel] in 1.3.x and earlier) as the
scripting language with some extensions. Groovy is used since it is extremely
fast and very simple to use.
TIP: Elasticsearch now has a built-in scripting language called _Painless_
that provides a more secure alternative for implementing
scripts for Elasticsearch. We encourage you to try it out--
for more information, see <<modules-scripting-painless, Painless Scripting Language>>.
The default scripting language is http://groovy-lang.org/[groovy]
(http://mvel.codehaus.org/[mvel] was the default in 1.3.x and earlier).
Additional `lang` plugins enable you to run scripts written in other languages.
Everywhere a script can be used, you can include a `lang` parameter
to specify the language of the script. Plugins are available for following languages:

===================================================
Groovy dynamic scripting is off by default, preventing dynamic Groovy scripts

To convert an inline script to a file, take this simple script
as an example:
To convert an inline script to a file-based script, save the contents
of the `inline` field to a file with the `.groovy` extension and
store it in the `config/scripts` directory on every data node in your
