Hello Everybody,

I have been dealing with Elasticsearch for a while, I found it nice. My intention is to integrate Elasticsearch with my existing .net application. I know it is possible, however, the trouble I've encountered is that the system I've in hand is somehow complicated, the system is a 3-tier application, (data-access, business and presentation layers). The data-access is EntityFramework, and on top of this it has a repository infrastructure by which the business layer accesses or communicates with the data model.

My question is, how could I possibly integrate Elasticsearch at this level, without affecting the entire data-access layer or business layer.

What problem do you face exactly?
You don't have access to the sources?

I've all the needed access to the resources, the problem is just me, I do not know how to implement Elasticsearch in such circumstances. The system I've is a web application, based on the legendary MVC pattern. I've working version of Elasticsearch, and did the famous MVCMusicStore application, however, when I start to implement it to my own system, I couldn't figure it out. The Repository infrastructure is the following: http://sonyarouje.com/2010/10/15/generic-entity-framework-repository-with-eager-loading/.

Am I not clear enough, still?

What you ask it is far too broad of a question to answer.
You seem to have troubles with very well established development patterns like MVC, or do I get you wrong with your wording?
You want to implement elastic search yourself or call a ready-to-use library and don't know how to use that library?

We cannot help you without knowing the specifics of your system, and the general answer is anything is possible given enough resources.
