Hello,

I'm kind of new to elasticsearch. I had a question regarding using transport client ( v5.0.1 and my elasticsearch cluster is also at 5.0.1). I'm seeing this error when I try to call update operation.

My document is of following format:

{  
x: [\_array\_of\_longs]  
}

## I tried to use script to have an append only if it exists in the array kind of operation. I don't know if elasticsearch supports Set data structure. Whenever i try with small integer like 100, 200 it works. But when I enter longs, l get this error. Any idea, what I'm doing wrong here ?

I'm using prepareUpdate call from transport client (lang is painless) something like this ...  
client.prepareUpdate(request.getIndex(),  
request.getType(), request.getId())  
.setScript(request.getScript()).setUpsert(request.getDocument()).execute().get();

Have anyone seen this issue before ?

Mapping query shows that type has long defined.

I'm using version 2.4.2 and I have same kind of updates. I have to use a script forcing long : here is my script (lang is groovy)

```
    /*
     * Elasticsearch Groovy script (Ref https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.1/modules-scripting.html and http://groovy-lang.org/syntax.html)
     *
     * Use this script when you need to add or delete a single value (int or long) in a list field.
     *
     * Mandatory params:
     * - "paramFieldname": name of the list field to modify
     * - "paramValue": value to add or delete from the field "paramFieldname"
     * - "paramAction", add ? "add" : "del"
     */
    long longparamValue = paramValue as long
    long[] longarray = ctx._source[paramFieldname] as long[]
    
    if(paramAction == "add") {
      if(longarray.contains(longparamValue) == false) {
        ctx._source[paramFieldname].add(longparamValue);
      }
    } else if(paramAction == "del") {
      if(longarray.contains(longparamValue) == true) {
        ctx._source[paramFieldname].removeAll(longparamValue)
      }
    }
```

Awesome, it works now. thanks!

Must be a problem with transport client and painless script.

In Painless you can make a long constant by ending it in `L`. So `9000000000001L`.

You are probably better off using `params` for the script so you don't compile a new script every time you have a new request. That'd look something like

```auto
"script": {
  "inline": "if (ctx.source.x.contains(params.to_add) {ctx.op='none'} else {ctx.source.x.add(params.to_add)}",
  "params": { "to_add": 9000000000001}
}

```
