Getting _id field from DocLookup

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a custom scorer plugin that needs access to the document's _id field
(not the Lucene docId). At the moment, the following always returns null:

doc().field("_id")

I have tried playing with the mapping and setting "store" to true/false,
different "index" values, etc., but to no avail. At the moment, the only
thing that works, but is horribly ugly is to parse the _uid field and split
on the "#" since the field is of the form "<_type>#<_id>".

Any ideas? Is this a bug perhaps in DocLookup?

Thanks,

Josh

Could it be that it is not stored?
"By default it is not indexed and not stored (thus, not created) ... the
APIs still work (since they work with the |_uid| field)"

It is stored, at least, according to my mapping it is:

{
"thething": {
"_id": {
"index": "not_analyzed",
"store": "yes"
}
}
}

Crap, PEBKAC. Error in my test setting the mapping. Setting the _id field
to stored: true did it.
