ElasticSearch

Wraps the ElasticSearch NPM package and provides helper functions.

insert(doc) - inserts a new document into elasticsearch

update(doc) - perform a direct update of an existing document

partialUpdate(mongodbSelector, mongodbMutator) - perform a 'smart' update of an existing document. Can directly convert most commonly-used mongodb actions to their groovy counterparts (which elasticsearch can understand). This is useful because it avoids the need to query mongodb to get the result of the change prior to updating elasticsearch.
