Hi,
This is Prateek and the post is to announce the successful creation of a basic Elasticsearch module for Drupal 8 as part of my GSoC '14 project. I've also uploaded a video tutorial on setting up this module. It's still under development and will be enriched and updated with time along with the addition of more features.
Currently, one may install the 8.x-1.x branch and use it for indexing and searching through Search API backend. Please report any issues you may come across.
Thanks to Drupal and my mentors Nick and Thomas who were very helpful throughout the project.

Thanks. Yes, I excluded the
Thanks. Yes, I excluded the audio as I decided to put captions in the video instead.
Hot topic
It seems this is a hot topic with a session at DrupalCon Amsterdam:

However it seems there is some duplicate work going on with a separate elastic search connector:

I have created a ticket in the project to request collaboration:

Would be great if you could connect with these maintainers and make sure your code is considered.
