Log Context

Log “compile error” class name is PainlessScriptEngine.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

 pos = new ScriptException.Position(originalOffset; startOffset; endOffset);
 }
 break;
 }
 }
 throw new ScriptException("compile error"; t; scriptStack; scriptSource; PainlessScriptEngine.NAME; pos);
 }  // very simple heuristic: +/- 25 chars. can be improved later.
 private int getPreviousStatement(int offset) {
 return Math.max(0; offset - 25);
