Quick question, I know that parameters are supported on in-line scripts as  
documented here:

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/script-filter.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/script-filter.html)

But is there a similar way to pass parameters into a Java-native  
AbstractExecutableScript/AbstractSearchScript? For example:

public class CustomScript extends AbstractExecutableScript {

```
public CustomScript(@Nullable Map<String,Object> params){

}

@Override

public java.lang.Object run() {

  String param1 = // some code to grab a script/query parameter

}

```

}

The native script is created by a class that implements  
NativeScriptFactory. So, you can do something like this:

public class CustomScript extends AbstractExecutableScript {

```
public static class CustomScriptNativeScriptFactory implements 

```

NativeScriptFactory {

```
    @Override
    public ExecutableScript newScript(@Nullable Map<String, Object> 

```

params) {  
String param1 = params == null ? "default" :  
XContentMapValues.nodeStringValue(params.get("param1"), "default");  
return new CustomScript(param1);  
}  
}

```
private final param1;

public CustomScript(String param1){
    this.param1 = param1;
}

@Override
public java.lang.Object run() {
  // use this.myParam here
}

```

}
