This forum has been really quick in providing solutions, really appreciate it. The question I have is, I am moving data from a NOSQL database to Elastic Search , some fields in the NOSQL database are encrypted and I would like to decrypt them using custom Java functions that I have written. Can I use pipelines to decrypt the data ? If so how do I apply these Java functions that I have written ? What kind of processors in the pipeline can I use ? Or is there any other recommendations as opposed to a pipeline ? ---

I believe that a [Script Processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.8/script-processor.html) could help? Or write your own plugin? ---
