Hi ,  
I would like find the duration between current time and updatedAt time of  
document stored in ES ..  
I am trying to use scripting..  
script should get

1. current time
2. \_source.updatedAt
3. then find the difference in minutes
4. and then do some more calculations..

I tried with multiple ways, But I am getting errors like this  
java.lang.SecurityException: Expression [ConstructorCallExpression] is not  
allowed  
or  
java.lang.SecurityException: Importing  
[org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat] is not allowed  
or  
java.lang.SecurityException: Method calls not allowed

Please help me to find the solution for this...

Thanks  
Samatha
