Does anyone know if its possible to get any more information back when you  
percolate a document? By default you just get the ID of the queries the  
document matched. Is it possible to get anything else such as score or  
some of the other features that you can get from a regular query??

Hello,

Are you planning to add more features to the percolate API? Can we get any visibility into any features that you might be planning to add?

Thanks and regards,  
Sameer

I just opened a Issue on GitHub to discuss what I'm thinking in terms of  
percolate features.

Think of the scenario where there's ~250,000 registered queries ~1,000 documents percolated per minute. Allowing users to configure shards, routing, caching, etc could seriously improve percolate performance.
