Hi,

is there the possibility to use HDFS directly as a storage for elasticsearch(except for mounting it via NFS)?  
So far I didn't find anything, but I saw that Solr has the possiblity to use HDFS directly as a storage(using an implementation of the Lucene directory abstraction). Is something like that coming in the future for elasticsearch too?

Cheers,  
Andreas
