In a custom script plugin, is it possible to have its thread pool for some concurrency? For example: in [this execute method](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/5d6e6c12cacc02abebba95b69236784ced2d3b03/plugins/examples/script-expert-scoring/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/example/expertscript/ExpertScriptPlugin.java#L168-L182), can I do some concurrency using a thread pool?

What I understand is that the script plugin will get called in some search threadpool, but can I have another one inside the plugin for more concurrency? I see this method getExecutorBuilders, but not able to understand how it is used.
