Hi there,

Is there a way in your rally tracks to use a search template for the search query ?

We've created Elasticsearch template using \_scripts/ that we can then use with \_search/template as follow:

GET index/\_search/template  
{  
"id": TEMPLATENAME,  
"params": {  
from: 0,  
size: 30,  
"paramName": "SOME PARAM FOR THE QUERY",  
...  
}  
}

It all works fine by hand but I haven't been able to tell rally to use a search template ☹

No much choice in the different rally operation-types (I could have hoped for a "search-template" type but it doesn't exist) thefore I use search:  
./operations/default.json: "operation-type": "search",

And in my track.py file in PureTermsQueryParamSource class I haven't found a way in the "result" variable to specify that I wanted to use a search template.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help.  
Oli
