Hi

For performance improvement I'm trying to combine  
elasticsearch/logstash/kibana with hadoop (cdh4). Unfortunately I'm  
familiar only with HDFS where I store logs. In my opinion the combination  
of elasticsearch and hadoop should use hdfs as storage and transparent  
hadoop map/reduce functionality for search.

I ran through elasticsearch-hadoop documentation and unfortunately I didn't  
understand how this combination could help me for kibana log analyze.  
Documentation says "Elasticsearch real-time search and analytics natively  
integrated with Hadoop.". But what should I configure? Hadoop with  
Elasticsearch or Elasticsearch with Hadoop? As for first one, I found only  
java code parts, nothing about the Hadoop configuration, so it seems that I  
should be familiar with java programming. As for the last one I found only  
"Hadoop HDFS Snapshot/Restore plugin", but I guess it was developed for  
indexes backup/restore, am I right?

Anyway, are my expectations right? Or elasticsearch-hadoop was developed  
for developers only and it is not suitable for  
"elasticsearch/logstash/kibana + hadoop"
