Documentation incorrect - reference/2.0/modules-scripting.html

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.0/modules-scripting.html

Documentation example below causes "script_score query does not support [file]" error

     "script_score": {
        "lang": "groovy",
        "file": "calculate-score",
        "params": {
          "my_modifier": 8
        }
      }

Should be

"script_file": "calculate-score"

The script_score in function score still uses the old scripting syntax. Must have been missed in the script cleanup in #11164

@colings86 could you take a look please?

[clintongormley]

whoops - i tested the wrong syntax, script_score works as intended.

@nicksanders presumably you're not using Elasticsearch 2.0. You should look at the documentation for the version you're using

@clintongormley I was using Elasticsearch 2.0 and got the following error

script_score query does not support [file]

It is possible I was doing something else wrong but when I changed "file" to "script_file" it worked ;)

[clintongormley]

@nicksanders you're missing one layer (and so you're using the undocumented bwc syntax). Should be:

"script_score": {
  "script": {
    "lang": "groovy",
    "file": "calculate-score",
    "params": {
      "my_modifier": 8
    }
  }
}

See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html#function-script-score

@clintongormley the example on https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.0/modules-scripting.html is missing one layer too ;)

thanks @nicksanders - fixed
