Elasticsearch is still in testing phase I would say,there are a few things that
need to be cleaned up to be production ready, most of them are small issues,
but together they would cause some pain points. Most of them relate to indexing
configuration and Koha expectations - if you don't define expected fields
sortable - sorting causes a failed search for example

Setting it up should be fairly straight forward - Mirko has put together a
'koha-elasticsearch' package which will install needed dependencies for koha,
and you will need to install Java and Elasticsearch itself.

I will work on some of the issues in the coming weeks and update the status
page on the wiki and send something to the list.

We do need testers and are working on enabling ES on some sandboxes and will
update when that work is ready.
