We use ES for indexing and searchability of historical textcorpora (Structure presented in TEI XML) in our dedicated research data repository in the LAUDATIO project (http://www.laudatio-repository.org). In my opinion the main advantages from ES are: Schema-free, Real time and Data in JSON and the best you can ingest tree like data structure.
