== Scripting
|
|
|
|
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 default scripting language is <<modules-scripting-painless, `Painless`>>.
|
|
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.

|
|
These languages can be used for any purpose in the scripting APIs,
|
|
and give the most flexibility.

=================================================

|
|
|
Languages that are sandboxed are designed with security in mind. However, non-
|
|
sandboxed languages can be a security issue, please read
