Any plugin available for Elasticsearch on par with Velocity Response Writer for Solr?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi there,

We are trying for find a plugin for Elasticsearch on par with Velocity Response Writer for Solr? https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_5/velocity-response-writer.html#velocity-response-writer

Basically, we want to leverage Elasticsearch to render HTML directly without an app engine. We would like to install an Apache/Nginx in front of Elasticsearch to do with URL rewrites and proxies the search request to Elasticsearch and let Elasticsearch respond HTML to Apache/Nginx and eventually back to the users. Any templating engine would work, like Velocity, Mustache or Handlebars. Please let us know if there is such a plugin or we need to write our own custom plugin. Thank you.

I don't think Elasticsearch is a great templating engine. While there is support for Mustache for some parts (like Search Templates), this isn't for the final output. Since you need a proxy or webserver in front of this anyway, that would be the right place for rendering templates IMO.

PS: I see "The VelocityResponseWriter has been deprecated and may be removed in a future version of Solr." on the plugin — maybe Solr is also not really a great templating engine?
