removed the plugin from the docker run command). But the plugin has no painless script, geo or double anything in the code. Just looking for ideas of how to debug and solve this error. Please help!!! ---

May be share your plugin code. Or try to remove some parts of it to isolate the root cause ? Hard to say just from logs IMO. ---

Thanks for the reply! The plugin had **asm.jar** and excluding that made the error go away. Must be some classpath conflict with the Painless code though I didn't get the Jar Hell error. Hope it helps somebody who runs into similar exception. Cheers! ---
