I think the problem was that Solr integration ran out of steam ( i.e.
development funding ). That is not going to happen with Elastic. I think it's
safe to say that we are fully committed to getting Elastic to work with Koha.
It's something of a chicken and egg problem. We can't let past failures cause
hesitation on future opportunities, that will only lead to stagnation.

As an aside, I'm looking forward to Elastic as a way to greatly speed up our
patron search. With Elastic we'll be able to index our patron data as well as
record data! In fact, we'll be able to use it for any type of data where we
search on large data sets! Once Elastic is part of Koha I plan on starting to
work on an (optional) way for the patron search to take advantage of Elastic.
