Hi,

We've been also hacked on our staging server because of opened ports 🙂  
I find dynamic scripting flexible for applications, but static scripting  
causes bunch of problems:

1. I should deploy it in special directory at elasticsearch node? We are  
using capistrano for web-app deployment and it's easy procedure, though we  
should provide additional access to elasticsearch node filesystem
2. I don't know, how to support script versions? just append \_v1, \_v2, etc.  
suffixes in filename?
3. Should I deploy on one node, or on each node? If I must deploy on each  
node - what happens if one node has a script, and other doesn't have?

Regards,  
Alex
