Using S3 as storage for elasticsearch

[DavidTurner]

You can save snapshots of your indices on S3, but S3 doesn't support the features Elasticsearch needs for search. See this post for more details:

Is there a way to install ealsticsearch in object storage env?

I don't think S3FS will work either. Elasticsearch expects its filesystem to behave like a filesystem, supporting features like fast atomic renames, cheap random access, consistent directory listings, and hard links. S3 doesn't have these features, and although S3FS looks a bit like a filesystem I think it also doesn't accurately simulate these features either.
