I would execute a groovy script, so I added the properties:  
`script.inline: true`  
`script.indexed: true`  
and  
`script.allowed_types: inline`  
`script.allowed_contexts: search, update`

But I got the following exception:  
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [script.engine.groovy.inline.search]`

Groovy support has been deprecated and is no longer available. You should look to use Painless scripting instead.
