NPE ES 7.4 Script score

[UW-SG]

NPE when using script scores query across multiple indices.

When a range clause is written on a field that exists in just one index, the other indices throw NPE.

If the script_score clause is removed, the query runs fine.

Looks like we're trying to unbox a null value into a float when the query is rewritten. It should work if you add a "minScore": 0" in the script_sore like this:

{
  "query": {
    "script_score": {
      "min_score": 0,
      ....

... but this is definitely a bug. @mayya-sharipova can you take a look ?
