Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I figured it out: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/5086
High level: 1. Hit ~1 million documents with a script score. 2. Do something like (doc['foo'].empty ? 0 : doc['foo'].value) * doc['bar']. The .empty is the key here. 3. If most of the documents don't have a foo then this is really slow. Like, two seconds slow. 4. Instead, switch to this (doc['foo'].isEmpty() ? 0 : doc['foo'].value) * doc['bar']. That is faster. .36 seconds or so. Not super speedy, but much better.
