[[painless-ingest-processor-context]] === Ingest processor context Use a Painless script in an {ref}/script-processor.html[ingest processor] to modify documents upon insertion. *Variables* `params` (`Map`, read-only):: User-defined parameters passed in as part of the query. {ref}/mapping-index-field.html[`ctx['_index']`] (`String`):: The name of the index. {ref}/mapping-type-field.html[`ctx['_type']`] (`String`):: The type of document within an index. `ctx` (`Map`):: Contains extracted JSON in a `Map` and `List` structure for the fields that are part of the document. *Side Effects* {ref}/mapping-index-field.html[`ctx['_index']`]:: Modify this to change the destination index for the current document. {ref}/mapping-type-field.html[`ctx['_type']`]:: Modify this to change the type for the current document. `ctx` (`Map`):: Modify the values in the `Map/List` structure to add, modify, or delete the fields of a document. *Return* void:: No expected return value. *API* The standard <> is available. *Example* To run this example, first follow the steps in <>. The seat data contains: * A date in the format `YYYY-MM-DD` where the second digit of both month and day is optional. * A time in the format HH:MM* where the second digit of both hours and minutes is optional. The star (*) represents either the `String` `AM` or `PM`. The following ingest script processes the date and time `Strings` and stores the result in a `datetime` field.

This is useful for handling the necessity of pulling out the individual pieces of the date and time `Strings` from the original seat data. <2> The first pass through each `char` in the `String` collects how many new `Strings` the original is split into. <3> Returns the original `String` if there are no instances of the delimiting `char`. <4> Creates an <> value to collect the split `Strings` into based on the number of `char` delimiters found in the first pass. <5> The second pass through each `char` in the `String` collects each split substring into an array type value of `Strings`. <6> Collects the last substring into the array type value of `Strings`. <7> Uses the `split` function to separate the date `String` from the seat data into year, month, and day `Strings`. Note:: * The use of a `String` type value to `char` type value <> as part of the second argument since character literals do not exist. * The use of the `ctx` ingest processor context variable to retrieve the data from the `date` field. <8> Appends the <> `"0"` value to a single digit month since the format of the seat data allows for this case. <9> Appends the <> `"0"` value to a single digit day since the format of the seat data allows for this case. <10> Sets the <> <> to `true` if the time `String` is a time in the afternoon or evening. Note:: * The use of the `ctx` ingest processor context variable to retrieve the data from the `time` field. <11> Uses the `split` function to separate the time `String` from the seat data into hours and minutes `Strings`. Note:: * The use of the `substring` method to remove the `AM` or `PM` portion of the time `String`. * The use of a `String` type value to `char` type value <> as part of the second argument since character literals do not exist. * The use of the `ctx` ingest processor context variable to retrieve the data from the `date` field. <12> If the time `String` is an afternoon or evening value adds the <> `12` to the existing hours to move to a 24-hour based time. <13> Builds a new time `String` that is parsable using existing API methods. <14> Creates a `ZonedDateTime` <> value by using the API method `parse` to parse the new time `String`. <15> Sets the datetime field `datetime` to the number of milliseconds retrieved from the API method `getLong`. Note:: * The use of the `ctx` ingest processor context variable to set the field `datetime`. Manipulate each document's fields with the `ctx` variable as each document is indexed.
