Hi! I'm a bit confused, and slightly desperate. I need the functionality of the ComplexPhraseQueryParser. It's a part of Lucene 3.6.1, so why isn't it available in ElasticSearch? Thanks in advance! -- ---

Its simply not exposed as part of the query DSL, though it potentially can be. You could write your own plugin that introduces a new query type into the DSL that does that if you urgently need it.

Are there any plans to expose it in the near future? 🙂 If not, what's the best way to get introduced to writing ES plugins? Thanks!

No, there aren't plans to do that, but open an issue, so we can track it. The best way is to simply write a plugin that implements it.
