In elastic logs I have errors

> ElasticsearchParseException: Error updating pipeline with id  
> (...)  
> Too many dynamic script compilations within

I am trying to change the configuration of the pipe and one thing is very interesting and unexpected.

One of the errors is

> Caused by: org.elasticsearch.script.GeneralScriptException: Failed to compile inline script [XXX] using lang [mustache]  
> (...)  
> Caused by: org.elasticsearch.common.breaker.CircuitBreakingException: [script] Too many dynamic script compilations within, max: [75/5m]; please use indexed, or scripts with parameters instead; this limit can be changed by the [script.max\_compilations\_rate] setting

Elastic throws above error when pipe have remove processor like this

```
{
  "remove": {
    "field": [
      "message",
      "some_ts",
      "XXX"
    ]
  }
}

```

When pipeline is changed to

```
{
  "remove": {
    "field": [
      "message",
      "some_ts"
    ]
  }
}

```

there is no

> Caused by: org.elasticsearch.script.GeneralScriptException: Failed to compile inline script [XXX] using lang [mustache]

in logs.

What is it related to and how to configure the deletion of this field, but without receiving errors.

I have one more similar situation. Error log

Failed to compile inline script [{{some.field.yyy}}] using lang [mustache]

which is connected with

```
{
  "set": {
    "field": "yyy",
    "value": "{{some.field.yyy}}"
  }
}

```

but when I change it to

{  
"rename": {  
"field": "some.field.yyy",  
"target\_field": "yyy"  
}  
}

error disappear.

Any suggestions?
