Both the groovy script engine and file scripts were removed in elasticsearch 6.0. You should look at [painless scripts](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/modules-scripting-painless.html) and [stored scripts](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting-using.html#modules-scripting-stored-scripts).
