ElasticSearch Documentation is wrong for update by query

[yesnid]

The documentation on this page, is incorrect in that it shows the argument of the script and language being passed to the new Script constructor in reversed order.

UpdateByQueryRequestBuilder updateByQuery = new UpdateByQueryRequestBuilder(client, UpdateByQueryAction.INSTANCE); updateByQuery.source("source_index") .script(new Script( ScriptType.INLINE, "if (ctx._source.awesome == 'absolutely') {" + " ctx.op='noop'" + "} else if (ctx._source.awesome == 'lame') {" + " ctx.op='delete'" + "} else {" + "ctx._source.awesome = 'absolutely'}", "painless", Collections.emptyMap())); BulkByScrollResponse response = updateByQuery.get();

Note that the correct order is ScriptType, Language, Code, Params.

@yesnid thanks for reporting this, I have opened #43907 to address this.

Notice that you are looking at the documentation for the deprecated transport client.

Closing as fixed.
