Is there any way to gracefully ignore unmapped fields in queries, instead
of failing the query?
Background: our data may not always contain certain fields, but our queries
will still look for them. It would be nice to have a way of saying, "if the
mapping for the field(s) is not there, just consider the query unmatched
and don't complain".
I've found similar issues, but not a general way of dealing with this in
queries (https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2569,
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1558).
Completely switching off dynamic mapping is theoretically a solution, but
would be pretty cumbersome for us.
Thanks

It seems that the problem is actually in a custom score script of ours, not
the standard ES queries. Sorry for the confusion!

I've found similar issues, but not a general way of dealing with this in
queries (Allow facet "queries" to run against unmapped fields · Issue #2569 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub,
Allow search to continue when sort field is missing from type mapping · Issue #1558 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub).
