DAMNIT.
Been working on my own spin on this sort of GUI internally for my company. Are you guys actively taking pull requests? I would much rather contribute to a more finished application

Very interesting. Have you tested it fully on a wide array of geolocation data? Such as what are the mappings for a variety of cities and towns, where some may fit a string definition or geolocation, such as "Pleasant".
I have used Solr quite a bit, not much Elasticsearch, but I am assuming the text tokenizers/analyzers aren't as complex in the schemas as Solr is, where you have a wide array of different text parsers.
GEM is at the first step towards true data modeling where it makes the mappings process very accessible. For someone coming from a SQL background, mappings in Elasticsearch are interesting because of it's nature of being both a search engine and a data store suited for aggregations.
Would love it to eventually have some intelligence and heuristics built in, like recommending what data types to choose, data normalization patterns.
