Hi,

I've downloaded the new ES 0.90.5 and I'm running the following bulk  
statements:

test.json:

{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1" } }  
{ "field\_1" : "value\_1" }  
{ "delete" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2" } }  
{ "create" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "3" } }  
{ "field\_1" : "value\_3" }  
{ "update" : {"\_id" : "1", "\_type" : "type1", "\_index" : "test"} }  
{ "doc" : {"field\_2" : "value\_2"} }  
{ "update" : {"\_id" : "1", "\_type" : "type1", "\_index" : "test",  
"\_retry\_on\_conflict" : 3} }  
{ "script" : "ctx.\_source.field\_1 : "new content"" }

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/\_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @test.json

I get the following response, which says that both updates succeeded:

{  
"took" : 139,  
"items" : [ {  
"index" : {  
"\_index" : "test",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "1",  
"\_version" : 1,  
"ok" : true  
}  
}, {  
"delete" : {  
"\_index" : "test",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "2",  
"\_version" : 1,  
"ok" : true,  
"found" : false  
}  
}, {  
"create" : {  
"\_index" : "test",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "3",  
"\_version" : 1,  
"ok" : true  
}  
}, {  
"update" : {  
"\_index" : "test",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "1",  
"\_version" : 2,  
"ok" : true  
}  
}, {  
"update" : {  
"\_index" : "test",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "1",  
"\_version" : 3,  
"ok" : true  
}  
} ]

But the data shows the following (What am I doing wrong??):

{

- \_index: test
- \_type: type1
- \_id: 1
- \_version: 3
- \_score: 1
- \_source: {
  - field\_1: value\_1
  - field\_2: value\_2  
}

}

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I figured it out as soon as I had clicked post....

Instead of { "script" : "ctx.\_source.field\_1 : "new content"" }

I should have { "script" : "ctx.\_source.field\_1 = "new content"" }
