I am facing issue during partial update of document through java API.
XContentBuilder xContentBuilder = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder().value(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(jsonObject.getDefaultData()));
final Map\ params = new HashMap\<\>();
params.put("object\_section", xContentBuilder);
final Script inlineUpdateScript = new Script(inlineScriptBuilder.toString(), ScriptType.INLINE, Script.DEFAULT\_SCRIPT\_LANG, params, XContentType.JSON);
UpdateResponse updateResponse = inlineUpdateRequest.setScript(inlineUpdateScript).execute()
.actionGet(3000);
Exception:
java.io.IOException: can not write type [class org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentBuilder]
