There is a standard processor for bytes [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/bytes-processor.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/bytes-processor.html)  
Is there similar processor for grams? Or which processor can be used to achieve same functionality?

The [script processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/script-processor.html) can do many custom operations. Definitely division and multiplication by 1000. Depends on exactly how your data is stored but if you have a field `weight` that has an integer you know is grams, and you want `weight = weight / 1000`, this shouldn't be too hard to do. If it's in the middle of some text description it gets trickier.

Yes, we have the `weight` field, and the values can be `3kg`, `1200g`, can you please helpt how this can be implemented using script processor?
