When running the [train.py](http://train.py) step of elasticSearch-learning-to-rank demo, I got the following error:

exceeded max allowed stored script size in bytes [65535] with size [1087937] for script

It seems that I need to set  
script.max\_size\_in\_bytes: 10000000

But where can I set this parameter? I did not find the right place.

You can put that in elasticsearch.yml or on the commmand line with -E
