So far, ES support two synonyms format, Solr and WordNet.

Any advantage/disadvantage between these two formats from performance and functionality point of view?

I don't believe there is any fundamental difference in Elasticsearch between the two formats. Note: we don't support the full feature set of Wordnet (e.g. just synonyms).

Pick the format that you like the most, shouldn't be any difference really 🙂
