I am new to elastic searcj I see that elasticsearch has switched to a new scripting language yet the update api is still referencing MVEL([http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html#docs-update](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html#docs-update)). Is this still the correct updating mechanism to use? Also when using the MVEL code I get "dynamic scripting for [mvel] disabled" however I do not see the "script.disable\_dynamic: false" setting in my yml config file? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Even after adding "script.disable\_dynamic: true" to the config and restarting my node I get the same error.

After adding script.disable\_dynamic: false to my settings it now works. I would still however want to know if I should be using mvel for updating or if there is some other updating mechanism.
