As you use a dynamic script, make sure to enable them explicitly in the conf, as it is disabled by default since ElasticSearch 1.2.0. Simply add script.disable_dynamic: false to your elasticsearch.yml configuration file.

Feel free to reopen the issue if this does not solve your problem.

Thank you update success.

but cannot update author_name only

"script" : "ctx._source.author += author", "params" : { "author" : {"author_id":1001,"author_name":"somchai"} }

result : "author": [ { "author_id": 1001, "author_name": "mahadoang" }, { "author_id": 1003, "author_name": "bugping3" }, { "author_name": "somchai", "author_id": 1001 } ]

i want update author.author_name form "mahadoang" to "somechai" where author.author_id = 1001 not append help me.

You would need to iterate the ctx._source.author array yourself in the script for that. Just look how this could be done in groovy. Try this:

for (a in ctx._source.author) {
  if (a.author_id == author.author_id) {
    a = author // or a.author_name = author.author_name
  }
}
