Is it possible to provide some data to factory from /\_settings or /[index]/\_settings

My tokenfilter has an option that setup flag value to use as ignore-marker for  
tokens if specified with FlagsAttribute.  
While it's not standatized and can cause conflicts i want provide cluster/index wide option for it:  
PUT /\_settings  
{  
"myfilter\_ignore\_flag" : 64  
}

So i want to allow TokenFilterFactory somehow access this settings.

For example in PLUGIN entry point  
@Override  
public Collection\<Class\<? extends Module\>\> modules() {  
return ImmutableList.\<Class\<? extends Module\>\>of(MYMODULE.class);  
}

```
public void onModule(AnalysisModule module) {
    module.addProcessor(new MYBINDER()); 
}

```

Entry in MYMODULE.class  
public MYMODULE(Settings settings,  
IndicesAnalysisService indicesAnalysisService) {  
super(settings);  
....

Settings is not what i'm looking for.

How can I acess cluster settings in plugin loading phase?  
If it's not available can I get them in factory  
@Override  
public TokenStream create(TokenStream tokenStream) {  
return new MYFILTER(tokenStream);  
}  
?
