I want to update 2 fields in a document in a single update request, using an inline painless script:
{
"script" : {
"inline": "ctx._source.counter1 ++ ; ctx._source.counter2 == 0 ? ctx.op = 'noop' : ctx._source.counter2 ++"}
}
Problem is - if the condition is met and ctx.op = 'noop' then the first part of the script (ctx._source.counter1 ++ ;) is also not being executed.
How would u recommend I should do this?
I can split the operation into 2 update requests which will double my db calls (but maybe a 'noop' call is extremely fast).
I also tried to swap the 2 parts of script (the conditional first , the increment second) - but then I'm getting a compilation error:
"script_stack": [
" ctx._source. ...",
" ^---- HERE"
],
"script": " ctx._source.counter2 > 0 ? ctx.op = 'noop' : ctx._source.counter2++ ; ctx._source.counter1++ ",
"lang": "painless",
"caused_by": {
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "Not a statement."
}
Any ideas? Thanks
