We are seeing strange errors in our elasticsearch log that our system does not call.

"script\_fields" : {  
"myscript: : {  
"script" : {  
"source" : "java.lang.Math.class.forName("java.lang.System").getProperties()",  
"lang" : "painless:  
}  
"ignore\_failure" : false

compile error

Variable [java] is not defined

Is this something that elasticsearch is calling internally?

Thanks, Dorothy
