Does Elastic Search expose the Lucene SpellChecker functionality? If  
not, any recommendations on how to do spellchecking? I thought about  
using Ruby's Aspell binding which should be fine for my needs.

Not yet. The idea of spell checking when it comes to search engine is to  
give suggestions based on the indexed data. Aspell can work for you well  
until its implemented in elasticsearch.
