Elasticsearch version:2.2.1
JVM version: 7
OS version: CentOS 6.5
Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior: I am trying to append a new object to an existing array of objects, but instead of appending, the whole array is replaced with the new value.
POST temp1
{
"mappings": {
"conv": {
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string"
},
"participants" : {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"name" : {
"type": "string"
},
"nick":{
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
POST /temp/conv/1/_update
{
"script" : "ctx._source.participants += new_creator",
"params" : {
"type" : "object",
"new_creator" : [{
"name": "a", "nick": "nick-c" }]
}
}
Could you pls let me know whether this is a bug or am I doing it wrongly?
