Advanced Methods for Painless Scripting with Elasticsearch - Part 3
Posted by Adam Vanderbush November 14, 2017In the previous article, we covered “Painless” and provided details about its syntax and usage. The article also covered some best practices, like why to use “params”, when to use “doc” values versus “_source” when accessing the document fields, and how to create fields on the fly etc.
We also covered topics like using Painless scripting in a query context, filter context and topics like using conditionals in scripting, deleting fields/nested fields, accessing nested objects and usage of scripting in scoring etc. In this final “Painless” post, we explore how to use Painless scripting in Kibana.
