Hi,
I'm using custom score query with script which should access object type of
document.
I want to search on more document types (same index), but not all types in
same index and for example, increment score of document if it is in array
of types.
How can I do this? Is there way to access to type of document in scriot,
something like:
doc['field'].type or similar ?
Thanks in advance

I have never tried doing so, but doc['\_type'].value should work.
What would probably work for your is a custom score filter using a filter
on the \_type field.
elasticsearch 0.90.4+
