Hi Nik, Just a quick comment on choosing ElasticSearch over Solr:
We use Solr at Wikia, and we have a lot we can offer the Foundation in terms of knowledge sharing. It might be a good idea to consider future opportunities to collaborate while vetting ElasticSearch. Even if ElasticSearch is your final call, you may still be able to use some of the code from our Search extension (https://github.com/wikia/app/tree/dev/extensions/wikia/Search). It uses the Solarium library for query abstraction, and I'm wondering if adding ElasticSearch support to that library and starting with some of the libraries we've written might get you most of the way there in your CirrusSearch efforts. And code aside, both solutions have very similar engines behind them. When it comes to generating schemata, analyzing fields, handling language support, scaling, or backend architecture, please feel free to reach out. We'd love to help.
