Hi guys,

I'm trying to build funnel using scripted\_metric aggregation.  
I got the error "painless script loop maximum number of statements limit".  
I have to iterate through large number of events to count and calculate "time\_spent" between two steps.  
I read [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/22508](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/22508). The maxLoopCounter is 1M.  
Is there any chance that I can set maxLoopCounter ?

You can modify this number and re-compile the source code 😃
