Using "replace" in the Elasticsearch function score discards the query\_score altogether.  
"only function score is used, the query score is ignored".

In my requirement, I do want the "replace" as I'm sorting based ONLY on the function\_score.  
But, later on I do require the query\_score as well.

Hence, I wanted to know if there is way to retrieve the query\_score while using "replace" in my function\_score query.
