Hi,

After upgrading to elastic search 5.4, script with terms aggregation giving compile error which were working properly in previous version 2.3.  
I am getting compile error for "list.location" aggregation.  
Below is the code snippet for your reference.

GET myindex/mytype/\_search  
{  
"\_source": ["id","title","location","country"],  
"query": {  
something...  
},  
"aggs":{  
"list.location":{  
"terms":{  
"script": "result=; country = doc['country.untouched'].value + '##'; if (doc['location.untouched'].empty) {country + 'null';} else {for(term in doc['location.untouched'].values){result.add(country + term)}; return result}"  
}  
}  
}  
}

Below is attached error screenshot.

I got the solution by modifying script as below.

def result=[]; def country = doc['country.untouched'].value + '##'; if (doc['location.untouched'].empty) {country + 'null';} else {for(term in doc['location.untouched'].values){result.add(country + term)} return result}

Thanks (y)
