I would like to clear up some points in the java API by discussion on this  
group message board with Shay.

THEN, I'd like to rewrite the english part of the documentation and offer  
that for review by Shay and/or the community.

How do you feel about that, Shay? Community, your thoughts?

I am paying to have a JPA style 'persistence/document manager'. That is why  
I need to understand the Java API better. I would like to offer this code  
and have it hosted with Elastic Search, if that is deemed 'A Good Idea'  
(tm).

Shay, this might be awhile, if at all. If I end up between jobs, I  
will hammer some on it. But with work being 6 days a week, 12.5 hours  
a day, it won't happen soon 🙂
