I would like to explore possibility of using Elasticsearch as a backend database for Django. Did anyone had any experience with it? Can you recommend any resources?  
Basically I want to have forms in Django app where users will enter data \>\> this will be indexed to Elasticsearch and subsequently retrieved via various searches.
