What are the available methods to obtain access to \_score value of a hit inside a Java program? Either using elasticsearch java API or spring data.

If you are using the transport API then the [score](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/5.2/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/SearchHit.java#L42) method on SearchHit. If you have a `SearchResponse` then you can get the hits with `getHits()`.
