We were using the below groovy script in 1.7.3 and now we are upgrading to 5.5.0 and the below groovy script is throwing "unexpected token ['groovy'] was expecting one of [{, ';'}]." message. Can you please help us in resolving it.

POST xxx_index/yyyy_type/_bulk
{"update":{"_id":"as23f4", "_retry_on_conflict" : 25}}
{
"script": "import groovy.json.;def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper();def object = jsonSlurper.parseText(newValues);ctx._source.ADC.addAll(object)",
"params": {
"newValues": "[{"ADC_ID":1234,"ADC_CODE":"00001234","ADC_PRC":null}]"
}
}
{"update":{"_id":"av45hj78", "_retry_on_conflict" : 25}}
{
"script": "import groovy.json.;def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper();def object = jsonSlurper.parseText(newValues);ctx._source.ADC.addAll(object)",
"params": {
"newValues": "[{"ADC_ID":2345,"ADC_CODE":"00002345","ADC_PRC":45.8}]"

Groovy is no longer the default scripting language, so it looks like it is being interpreted as painless, which is replacing Groovy within Elasticsearch. You may therefore need to specify the scripting language in your request.
