I can't answer the rest, but I can answer the facets question, yes,

ElasticSearch does support facets:

Hello Group,
Hello Shay,

i'm currently looking for an alternative to SOLR, as SOLRs java api
SOLRJ is more a mess than useful. As a typical newbie, I got a few
questions that I couldn't answer myself by looking at the doc's.

  1. Does ElasticSearch offer Faceting?
    I looked at Query DSL doc but didn't see any faceting there;

  2. How can I implement tree structures with ES?
    in SOLR, one can use a multi-valued field and insert there precompiled
    tree-structures like this:
    0_Root
    1_Root_Foo
    1_Root_Foo2
    2_Root_Foo_Bar
    2_Root_Foo_Bar2
    and then facet over e.g. "1_Root_Foo" - does this work in ES, too?

  3. I prefer to have the search solution sitting next to the webapp in
    the same server - is there any way one can deploy ElasticSearch as a
    war in an JEE Server like Glassfish 3?

Best,

K.B.
