Like the database functions .. we can use the function like to\_number(to\_char(...)) ， but the function is not fixed.

now we defined the function :  
"def abs(data) {return Math.abs(data);};";  
"def upper(data){if(data!=null){return data.toUpperCase();}else{return null}};";

and use it in script , inline ...like this  
"script":"def abs(data) {return Math.abs(data);};def upper(data){if(data!=null){return data.toUpperCase();}else{return null}};upper(abs(doc['fieild'].value))"

so this way can make memory leak? (Es 2.3.4)

if use script file ,how can i do it ..
