I have a need to get the raw response from the Elasticsearch SearchResponse object. We have situations where navigating the hits/aggregations-based structure is too rigid for our formatting the response back to user. Grateful for any insights. Thanks.

Note: If this is the wrong forum area for elastic java API, please let me know and I will move post to more appropriate area. Thanks.
