A sort of road map that I have in mind (and yes I'll back that up with funding
etc.)

1. Get Elastic into Koha (marked as experimental) - making sure that we aren't
breaking anything with Zebra!  (that's the main testing we need now)
2. Elasticsearch talks JSON
3. As we want to develop new features that are ES centric and not Zebra - we
split those off
4. Meaning we can build a new frontend for it, that uses elasticsearch to
search, and the restful api to get records. 
5. New Frontend for it - that is not C4::Search (no one really wants to work
that anymore).
6. introducing the Catmandu libraries into Koha should be a good thing - we can
start to explore RDF etc.
