I have created a percolator query using the standard:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_percolator/test/kuku ...

Now assume its some time later, and I can't remember what the query was, so  
I want to be able to GET and return the query that was created. Is there a  
way to GET the existing query to see what the query structure is?

Thanks.

Just:

curl -XGET localhost:9200/\_percolator/test/kuku

If you need to get the full list of existing percolators, search for it:

curl -XGET localhost:9200/\_percolator/\_search?q=\*
