Hi,

When I execute a seeded random scoring query multiple time on a two nodes  
cluster, I see differences in scoring whether the query is executed on a  
node or the other. Is this an expected behavior (I'd say it's a logical  
behavior) or should both nodes score documents the same way given the same  
seed ?
