Objective C client for ElasticSearch ( iphone, ipad etc.)

@avarab - Thank you for the "bigger picture," let me see if I can convince
you that the question is still relevant:

  1. In my question, I am approaching an ES client from the perspective of
    building out at least the "Query DSL" piece, there may be more that a full
    fledged client can do but this is the part I think is immediately useful on
    iOS (Objective-C) apps.
  2. I was under the impression that multiple solutions exist to secure
    the connection to an ES server:
    1. nginx
    2. sTunnel
    3. elasticsearch-jetty
    4. Am I mistaken about this?
  3. CPU wise, mobile phones today are powerful devices and I'd like to
    think that I can count on them.
  4. I understand the point about round trips but if user interaction is
    required than there is simply no way around getting results, then showing
    them and letting the user choose where to go next anyway.
  5. So, is there a client implementation for ElasticSearch written for
    Objective-C (iPhone) users out there? I'm trying to roll my own but I don't
    want to reinvent the wheel. Let me know.
