Hi, how do I set tie\_breaker parameter to a float value (e.g. 0.1) when using org.elasticsearch.index.query.MultiMatchQueryBuilder? MultiMatchQueryBuilder has tieBreaker(Integer) method, but no tieBreaker(float) method (DisMaxQueryBuilder has tieBreaker(float) method.) Is this a bug, or is there some mapping from Integer to float? Thanks, Jan Kouba -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thank you! Any chance this fix will be included in 0.20 branch?
