Returning _type and _version in source?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am using the Java API and get the result of a search:

final GetResponse response =
_esClient.prepareGet(_index, _type, (String) key)
.execute().actionGet();

Now, I can get the source as a Map or as a String using:

    Map<String, Object> result = response.getSource();
    String result = response.sourceAsString();

But, I want to "inject" some additional response properties into my source
(i.e. _type, _version, _index) which I will return as a String. Getting the
Map back then injecting the properties is trivial, but there isn't a
convenient way (that I could find) to convert the map back to a JSON
string.

Is there a config property to inject these additional fields into source
already? Or some technique to accomplish what I would like?

XContentFactory.jsonBuilder().map(responseAsMap).string()

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
