Hello!  
I have an object with array of children objects. I'm using nested queries to retrieve relevant children objects along with parents.

What I want to do is calculate final score for objects by function, using 1. \_score of object itself, 2. max \_score of found nested object, 3. count of inner\_hits.

Is it possible to do?
