Hi,

I just pushed support for a wikipedia river, here is the issue:  
[http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/closed#issue/403](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/closed#issue/403). It  
basically automatically start downloading wikipedia dump and index it on the  
fly. Not the fastest way to do it (the download aspect, and the parser I  
found is not the most optimized one), but can be interesting to use as a way  
to get some data into elasticsearch to play with (as is the twitter river as  
well).
