(Quick Reference)

1 Introduction

The ElasticSearch plugin intends to implement a simple integration with Grails of the Open Source Search Engine ElasticSearch, which is based on Lucene and provide distributed capabilities.

The plugin focus on exposing Grails domain classes for the moment. It highly takes the existing Searchable Plugin as reference for its syntax and behavior.

Note that the plugin is still under development, so you may not be able to use all the features of ElasticSearch yet. As for now, you should only use this plugin for testing purpose since you may lack some functionalities in a production environment.
