> I learnt my lesson about giving against-the-grain responses to interviewers.

Generally speaking there's nothing wrong with against-the-grain responses if they're well argued for, especially if you can compare them to the other, more common, options and make your solution sound the best. "Elastic search does this, and it might be easier to cache" don't sound like the best arguments to me.
