How can I access filename using elasticsearch from a code like this?

{  
"\_index" : "fscrawler-rest-tests\_doc",  
"\_type" : "\_doc",  
"\_id" : "dd18bf3a8ea2a3e53e2661c7fb53534",  
"\_version" : 1,  
"found" : true,  
"\_source" : {  
"content" : "This file contains some words.\n",  
"meta" : {  
"raw" : {  
"X-Parsed-By" : "org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser",  
"Content-Encoding" : "ISO-8859-1",  
"Content-Type" : "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1"  
}  
},  
"file" : {  
"extension" : "txt",  
"content\_type" : "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1",  
"indexing\_date" : "2017-01-04T21:01:08.043",  
"filename" : "test.txt"  
},  
"path" : {  
"virtual" : "test.txt",  
"real" : "test.txt"  
}  
}  
}

What do you mean by "access" the filename ?

Did you mean "how to open the file?"
