This will be an optional integration like it is mentioned; I would not want to add a strong/required dependency to ElasticSearch. But it is too early to known the exact details since we did not even start working on it. Also, the roadmap is more or less ordered in terms of priority/importance and this the last item. By the time we get to this we will get a much better idea of the feature set and will definitely explore a few avenues to implement it.
