ES seems to have ability to run analytic queries. I have read about people using it as an OLAP solution [1], although I have not yet read anyone describe their experience. In that respect how does ES analytics capabilities compare against:

1) Dremel clones [2] like Impala & Presto (for near real-time, ad hoc analytic queries over large datasets)

2) Lambda Architecture [3] systems (where queries are known up- front, but need to run against a large dataset)

Does anyone here have experience ES in such usecases, beyond the free text searching one ES is well-known for?
