=== Painless Scripting Language
experimental[The Painless scripting language is new and is still marked as experimental. The syntax or API may be changed in the future in non-backwards compatible ways if required.]
_Painless_ is a simple, secure scripting language available in Elasticsearch
by default. It is designed specifically for use with Elasticsearch and can
safely be used with `inline` and `stored` scripting, which is enabled by
default.
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
* Native support for regular expressions with `/pattern/`, `=~`, and `==~`

== Painless Examples
To illustrate how Painless works, let's load some hockey stats into an Elasticsearch index:
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
PUT hockey/player/_bulk?refresh
{"index":{"_id":1}}
{"first":"johnny","last":"gaudreau","goals":[9,27,1],"assists":[17,46,0],"gp":[26,82,1]}
{"index":{"_id":2}}
{"first":"sean","last":"monohan","goals":[7,54,26],"assists":[11,26,13],"gp":[26,82,82]}
{"index":{"_id":3}}
{"first":"jiri","last":"hudler","goals":[5,34,36],"assists":[11,62,42],"gp":[24,80,79]}
{"index":{"_id":4}}
{"first":"micheal","last":"frolik","goals":[4,6,15],"assists":[8,23,15],"gp":[26,82,82]}
{"index":{"_id":5}}
{"first":"sam","last":"bennett","goals":[5,0,0],"assists":[8,1,0],"gp":[26,1,0]}
{"index":{"_id":6}}
{"first":"dennis","last":"wideman","goals":[0,26,15],"assists":[11,30,24],"gp":[26,81,82]}
{"index":{"_id":7}}
{"first":"david","last":"jones","goals":[7,19,5],"assists":[3,17,4],"gp":[26,45,34]}
{"index":{"_id":8}}
{"first":"tj","last":"brodie","goals":[2,14,7],"assists":[8,42,30],"gp":[26,82,82]}

=== Accessing Doc Values from Painless
Document values can be accessed from a `Map<String,def>` named `doc`.
For example, the following script calculates a player's total goals. This example uses a strongly typed `int` and a `for` loop.
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
GET hockey/_search
{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"script_score": {
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "int total = 0; for (int i = 0; i < doc['goals'].length; ++i) { total += doc['goals'][i]; } return total;"
}
}
}
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
Alternatively, you could do the same thing using a script field instead of a function score:
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
GET hockey/_search
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"script_fields": {
"total_goals": {
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "int total = 0; for (int i = 0; i < doc['goals'].length; ++i) { total += doc['goals'][i]; } return total;"
}
}
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
The following example uses a Painless script to sort the players by their combined first and last names. The names are accessed using
`doc['first'].value` and `doc['last'].value`.
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
GET hockey/_search
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"sort": {
"_script": {
"type": "string",
"order": "asc",
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "doc['first'].value + ' ' + doc['last'].value"
}
}
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
[float]
=== Updating Fields with Painless
You can also easily update fields. You access the original source for a field as `ctx._source.<field-name>`.
First, let's look at the source data for a player by submitting the following request:
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
GET hockey/_search
{
"fields": [
"_id",
"_source"
],
"query": {
"term": {
"_id": 1
}
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
To change player 1's last name to `hockey`, simply set `ctx._source.last` to the new value:
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
POST hockey/player/1/_update
{
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "ctx._source.last = params.last",
"params": {
"last": "hockey"
}
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
You can also add fields to a document. For example, this script adds a new field that contains
the player's nickname, _hockey_.
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
POST hockey/player/1/_update
{
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "ctx._source.last = params.last; ctx._source.nick = params.nick",
"params": {
"last": "gaudreau",
"nick": "hockey"
}
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
[float]
[[modules-scripting-painless-regex]]
=== Regular expressions
Painless's native support for regular expressions has syntax constructs:
* `/pattern/`: Pattern literals create patterns. This is the only way to create
a pattern in painless. The pattern inside the `/`s are just
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html[Java regular expressions].
See <<modules-scripting-painless-regex-flags>> for more.
* `=~`: The find operator return a `boolean`, `true` if a subsequence of the
text matches, `false` otherwise.
* `==~`: The match operator returns a `boolean`, `true` if the text matches,
`false` if it doesn't.
Using the find operator (`=~`) you can update all hockey players with "b" in
their last name:
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
POST hockey/player/_update_by_query
{
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "if (ctx._source.last =~ /b/) {ctx._source.last += \"matched\"} else {ctx.op = 'noop'}"
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
Using the match operator (`==~`) you can update all the hockey players who's
names start with a consonant and end with a vowel:
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
POST hockey/player/_update_by_query
{
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "if (ctx._source.last ==~ /[^aeiou].*[aeiou]/) {ctx._source.last += \"matched\"} else {ctx.op = 'noop'}"
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
Or you can use the `Pattern.matcher` directory to get a `Matcher` instance and
remove all of the vowels in all of their names:
[source,js]
----------------------------------------------------------------
POST hockey/player/_update_by_query
{
"script": {
"lang": "painless",
"inline": "ctx._source.last = /[aeiou]/.matcher(ctx._source.last).replaceAll('')"
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
Note: all of the `_update_by_query` examples above could really do with a
`query` to limit the data that they pull back. While you *could* use a
<<query-dsl-script-query>> it wouldn't be as efficient as using any other query
because script queries aren't able to use the inverted index to limit the
documents that they have to check.
We intentionally don't allow scripts to call `Pattern.compile` to get a new
pattern on the fly because building a `Pattern` is (comparatively) slow.
Pattern literals (`/apattern/`) have fancy constant extraction so no matter
where they show up in the painless script they are built only when the script
is first used. It is fairly similar to how `String` literals work in Java.

[[modules-scripting-painless-regex-flags]]
==== Regular expression flags
You can define flags on patterns in Painless by adding characters after the
trailing `/` like `/foo/i` or `/foo \w #comment/iUx`. Painless exposes all the
flags from
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html[Java's Pattern class]
using these characters:
[cols="<,<,<",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
| Character | Java Constant | Example
|`c` | CANON_EQ | `'å' ==~ /å/c` (open in hex editor to see)
|`i` | CASE_INSENSITIVE | `'A' ==~ /a/i`
|`l` | LITERAL | `'[a]' ==~ /[a]/l`
|`m` | MULTILINE | `'a\nb\nc' =~ /^b$/m`
|`s` | DOTALL (aka single line) | `'a\nb\nc' =~ /.b./s`
|`U` | UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS | `'Ɛ' ==~ /\\w/U`
|`u` | UNICODE_CASE | `'Ɛ' ==~ /ɛ/iu`
|`x` | COMMENTS (aka extended) | `'a' ==~ /a #comment/x`
|=======================================================================
