If you are only modifying the REST API calls and not the Java API, such a plugin should be easy. You are not creating a new type of action, merely using the current search one, but changing the output format.
Here are two tutorials on simple REST plugins: http://jprante.github.io/lessons/2012/03/27/Writing-a-simple-plugin-for-Elasticsearch.html http://blog.brusic.com/2011/09/create-pluggable-rest-endpoints-in.html Hopefully the content is not too old. Base the plugin around the existing RestSearchAction, but in the handleRequest method, instead of returning the results directly, you can modify them before.
