I am responding to a comment made by shay.banon at this blog:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.com/blog/2010/02/25/nosql\_yessearch.html](http://www.elasticsearch.com/blog/2010/02/25/nosql_yessearch.html),  
where he said:

"If someone is interested (I sure as hell am) at getting the same  
integration into other NoSQL solutions, such as Cassandra, HBase,  
riak, mongodb, and Project Voldemort, drop a line at elasticsearch and  
lets go for it."

I am leading a project for the Air Force where we are creating a  
system which allows users to aggregate and tag data any way they want  
and search on either the aggregation meta data, the tags, or the data  
itself. We are using Cassandra to store the meta data and the tags  
and Couchdb to store the data.

I would be interested in extending elasticsearch to Cassandra and  
Couchdb.

Cool. The idea that I had was to create indexers for cassandra and couchdb  
that will automatically index data inserted into couchdb / cassandra.

There are two ways to build such an integration. The first, is to create  
hooks into cassandra / couchdb, and "on change", apply that change to  
elasticsearch. I think that would make sense for you to work on.

Another option, which make sense for couchdb, is to have an ongoing indexer  
running on a different process that periodically polls it for changes, and  
applies them. I plan to add support for something like that (custom  
indexers) to run within elasticsearch (so you get HA and so on).
