We have actually been using elasticsearch as our main data storage at backstitch for almost a year now. How I usually explain its awesome power is (1) take the schemaless nature of MongoDB, (2) add the indexing power of Lucene, (3) and give it the flexible scaling of Riak.

The documentation is also fantastic and the plugin availability pretty good.
