Some scripting languages don't make a difference between property access foo.bar and map lookups foo['bar']. This is an issue for the DocLookup class (which is the class behind the _doc variable and implements java.util.Map) since there are two ways that _doc.score can be resolved:

  1. DocLookup.getScore()
  2. DocLookup.get("score").

The interesting thing is that mvel translates _doc.score to getScore while Groovy seems to translate it to get("score"). So when trying to lookup the score in Groovy, you might see the following error:

GroovyScriptExecutionException[ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[No field found for [score] in mapping with types [index_name]].

For reference, if you encounter this issue, you can work around it by using _score instead of _doc.score. So maybe the way to go would be to deprecate _doc.score and make scripting engines expose the score via _score instead. I tend to find it cleaner as well since the score is not really a property of the document (it also depends on the query).

+1 on using _score instead of _doc.score!

For reference, here is a confirmation that in case of a conflict Groovy prefers the map access: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Property-resolution-clash-for-Map-subclasses-td5717713.html

@jpountz I looked and we already support _score in Groovy scripts (there's a test for it too). So I think all that needs to be done for this is to add documentation about _score being the preferred method instead of _doc.score. Does that sound good to you?

script with _score: remove dependency of DocLookup and scorer
bca8f2e 
As pointed out in elastic#7487 DocLookup is a variable that is accessible by all scripts
for one doc while the query is executed. But the _score and therfore the scorer
depends on the current context, that is, which part of query is currently executed.
Instead of setting the scorer for DocLookup
and have Script access the DocLookup for getting the score, the Scorer should just
be explicitely set for each script.
DocLookup should not have any reference to a scorer.
This was similarly discussed in elastic#7043.

This dependency caused a stackoverflow when running script score in combination with an
aggregation on _score. Also the wrong scorer was called when nesting several script scores.

Hello to everyone,

I just upgraded elasticsearch from 1.3.4 to 1.4.4 and I am getting the aforementioned error:
org.elasticsearch.script.groovy.GroovyScriptExecutionException: ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[No field found for [score] in mapping with types [type_name]]

I have read the initial workaround but I did not understand unfortunately how to proceed.
Any assistance would be very helpful.
