In my elasticsearch plugin code I get the results in topdocs. While looping through topdocs, there is an id that is retrieved by doing topdocs.scandocs[i].doc. This id is not the elasticsearch document id. How can I get the elasticsearch document id so that I can compare if what is returned in topdocs is really the result that is return by the elasticsearch query?
