Hi, I installed ES 1.1.0 under ubuntu 14, and I need to make custom functions for search, so I read [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html), and [http://www.spacevatican.org/2012/5/12/elasticsearch-native-scripts-for-dummies/](http://www.spacevatican.org/2012/5/12/elasticsearch-native-scripts-for-dummies/) , but I didn't understand how ES finds the script, so if I have a jar file, should I put it in a specific directory and define a path in elasticsearch.yml file? I know I must write script.native: mynativescript.type: org.spacevatican.elasticsearchexample.CustomScriptFactory but I dont know where to place the script -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
