Painless execute API

experimental[The painless execute api is new and the request / response format may change in a breaking way in the future]

The Painless execute API allows an arbitrary script to be executed and a result to be returned.

Table 1. Parameters
Name Required Default Description

script

yes

-

The script to execute

context

no

painless_test

The context the script should be executed in.

context_setup

no

-

Additional parameters to the context.

Contexts

Contexts control how scripts are executed, what variables are available at runtime and what the return type is.

Painless test context

The painless_test context executes scripts as is and do not add any special parameters. The only variable that is available is params, which can be used to access user defined values. The result of the script is always converted to a string. If no context is specified then this context is used by default.

Example

Request:

POST /_scripts/painless/_execute
{
  "script": {
    "source": "params.count / params.total",
    "params": {
      "count": 100.0,
      "total": 1000.0
    }
  }
}

Response:

{
  "result": "0.1"
}
Filter context

The filter context executes scripts as if they were executed inside a script query. For testing purposes a document must be provided that will be indexed temporarily in-memory and is accessible to the script being tested. Because of this the _source, stored fields and doc values are available in the script being tested.

The following parameters may be specified in context_setup for a filter context:

document

Contains the document that will be temporarily indexed in-memory and is accessible from the script.

index

The name of an index containing a mapping that is compatible with the document being indexed.

Example
PUT /my-index
{
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "properties": {
        "field": {
          "type": "keyword"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

POST /_scripts/painless/_execute
{
  "script": {
    "source": "doc['field'].value.length() <= params.max_length",
    "params": {
      "max_length": 4
    }
  },
  "context": "filter",
  "context_setup": {
    "index": "my-index",
    "document": {
      "field": "four"
    }
  }
}

Response:

{
  "result": true
}
Score context

The score context executes scripts as if they were executed inside a script_score function in function_score query.

The following parameters may be specified in context_setup for a score context:

document

Contains the document that will be temporarily indexed in-memory and is accessible from the script.

index

The name of an index containing a mapping that is compatible with the document being indexed.

query

If _score is used in the script then a query can specified that will be used to compute a score.

Example
PUT /my-index
{
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "properties": {
        "field": {
          "type": "keyword"
        },
        "rank": {
          "type": "long"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}


POST /_scripts/painless/_execute
{
  "script": {
    "source": "doc['rank'].value / params.max_rank",
    "params": {
      "max_rank": 5.0
    }
  },
  "context": "score",
  "context_setup": {
    "index": "my-index",
    "document": {
      "rank": 4
    }
  }
}

Response:

{
  "result": 0.8
}
