I've only heard of very few cases where people were using ES as primary storage, and even there they acknowledged that they were probably crazy for doing so.

Yeah, I had an argument with that over at reddit. Where someone advocated ES as an alternative to Cassandra. >___<. I did hopefully, convinced the user otherwise.
