Hello Group, I´m facing a problem with pre-registered templates. I´m able to store them, and I´m able to call them via REST (passing params) - everything works like a charm 🙂 But using the Java-API there is a problem: the setTemplateParams method only accepts a Map\ as a parameter. I want to pass a collection of numbers to my tempate in order to get a result, without success, because i need to pass a Map\ to my SearchRequestBuilder. I´ve found this (this is similar to what I´m looking for): [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/index/query/TemplateQueryTest.java#L393](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/index/query/TemplateQueryTest.java#L393) Map\ arrayTemplateParams = new HashMap\<\>(); String[] fieldParams = {"foo","bar"}; arrayTemplateParams.put("fieldParam", fieldParams); SearchResponse searchResponse = client().prepareSearch("test").setTypes("type").setTemplateName("/mustache/4").setTemplateType(ScriptService.ScriptType.INDEXED).setTemplateParams(arrayTemplateParams).get(); assertHitCount(searchResponse, 5); Not in version 1.4.2 nor in 1.4.3-SNAPSHOT the method signature have changed. So how can I pass (not string) collections to my template? Cheers, Rafael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
