In a plugin like [this](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/main/plugins/examples/script-expert-scoring/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/example/expertscript/ExpertScriptPlugin.java) where it's extending ScriptEngine, LeafFactory, and DocReader, is it possible to get the shard the script is running on?

I assume the script would run on each shard individually and then combine data. I am passing something in the params per shard and would like to apply the logic based on the shard it is running on.
