I want to implement a system where I am getting continuous data in  
stream and want to index it, update it, and delete it.

Can you please help me and suggest the design overview. I am thinking  
of using Couchdb and my hosting environment will be Amazon EC2.

Where should I place my data and what will be the best approach to  
setup ElasticSearch in system?

Elasticsearch rivers may help you.

Thanks,  
I am using river plugin.  
But my question is about the precise whole system design that I should  
follow.
