I was following the guide below.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting-engine.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting-engine.html)

The result I got was as below. I was debugging the code and the line "return p -\> new SearchScript()" caused this to happen.

"root\_cause" : [  
{  
"type" : "null\_pointer\_exception",  
"reason" : null  
}  
],  
"type" : "search\_phase\_execution\_exception",  
"reason" : "all shards failed",  
"phase" : "query",  
"grouped" : true,  
"failed\_shards" : [  
{  
"shard" : 0,  
"index" : "experttest",  
"node" : "ERrGuH0sQkq6n0bFcRlPHw",  
"reason" : {  
"type" : "null\_pointer\_exception",  
"reason" : null  
}  
}  
]
