Hello,  
It's known that in lucene one can get a termPositions object using like this:  
TermPositions tp = reader.termPositions(new Term("filedName", "queryTerm"));  
Then he can fetch the position of the specific term in every matched document.  
I am wondering is there any similar function provided by elasticsearch as well?  
Thank you.
