+.Missing fields
+===================================================
+
+The `doc['field']` will throw an error if `field` is missing from the mappings.
+In `painless`, a check can first be done with `doc.containsKey('field')` to guard
+accessing the `doc` map.  Unfortunately, there is no way to check for the
+existence of the field in mappings in an `expression` script.
