Hi,

I'm trying to keep some scripts within config/scripts but elasticsearch  
seems that it cannot locate them. What could be a possible reason for this?

When need to invoke it es fails with the following

No such property: for class: Script1

Any ideas?

Thanks

Here's a basic example you can try:

Thanks for posting the tutorial. I've been looking everywhere for this.  
I'm able to succeed with your tutorial, but I cannot get subdirectories to work.

So this fails with the bolded modifications. Am I misunderstanding how to notate directories?

Step 1:  
Under the **config/scripts/hw** folder, create a file named helloworld.mvel

Step 2:  
Edit the file helloworld.mvel and put this and save:  
"hello world"

Step 3:  
Restart Elasticsearch

Step 4:  
Test the script using a query like this:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/test1/doc' -d '{ "test": "test" }'

curl 'localhost:9200/test1/\_search?pretty' -d '{  
"script\_fields": {  
"test": {  
**"script": "hw\_helloworld"**  
}  
}  
}'
