Hi, I have some elastic search queries that use mvel scripts. If I can put the mvel scripts in the config directory and restart elastic search, scripts are recognized and everything works. However, requiring restart of elastic search is not a good option in our production environment. How can I specify the full path name of the script (mvel) as part of the query and bypass this issue. I realize that the query will be slower, but this will be great as long as it can work. I would like to be able to specify (full path name as part of the query). "script": "/tmp/es\_weight" Any help or pointers are appreciated. regards, Yogesh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
