Yes David, the issue is not related to it.

Were you able to find a solution to this? I'm facing the same issue with ES 2.2.0 I've tried using Groovy versions 2.3.2, 2.4.0 and 2.4.4 Thanks! ---

Yes, hello ES?? I'm having the same problem with ES 2.3.4. What do I need to do to get groovy scripts to execute? The ES documentation is silent about this. ---

Reviving and old thread usually isn't the way to go. Usually if groovy scripts aren't running it is because the module didn't load - when Elasticsearch starts up it logs all the modules it loaded. You should check there. ---
