I use ES only for search (indexes from a DB), so losing data isn't a massive drama, it's great for my usecase.

That sounds like the indended use. I should qualify my comment, I heard it advocated for a primary data storage.

I've only heard of very few cases where people were using ES as primary storage, and even there they acknowledged that they were probably crazy for doing so.

Yeah, I had an argument with that over at reddit. Where someone advocated ES as an alternative to Cassandra. >___<. I did hopefully, convinced the user otherwise.
