During Drupal Con Vienna 2017 multiple people asked about the state of elastic search support as Search API backend.
At the moment there're two (mostly outdated) modules:
- https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_elasticsearch
- https://www.drupal.org/project/elasticsearch_connector
The common understanding is, that these two modules are not on the same level as https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr at the moment, regarding their features and their stability.
Some people came up with the idea to take the current implementation of Search API and "simply" replace the connection and query code by elasticsearch specific parts. We agreed that this might be a good approach. But it's a bad idea to copy the glue code between Search API and the both lucene based backends solr and elasticsearch.
Therefore I proposed to isolate this glue code in common for both lucene based search backends in a separate module:
