Groovy Scripting Language Deprecated in 5.0, can we use painless as alternatives?
what are the major key points between groovy and painless?
org.elasticsearch.script.Script.Script(ScriptType type, String lang, String idOrCode, Map\ params)
idOrCode : groovery(replaced) with painless
Example:
new Script(ScriptType.INLINE,"ctx.\_source.events\_count += events\_count;","painless", MAP);
more details are welcome

I think that you should read our [blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/painless-a-new-scripting-language) on this topic and maybe attend our [webinar](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/painless-secure-scripting-language-for-elasticsearch) tomorrow!
