I would like to retrieve some \_source data and some \_termvectors data via a single scrolling query.

Right now, it seems my only option is to run the query, and then make many \_termvectors calls with the returned doc IDs to get everything I need.

Is a single query like this possible? I would be happy to write a plugin to facilitate this if someone could point me at the right integration points to make it happen.

Thanks!
