elasticsearch / solr search in ezpublish 2014.11

Question

Using eZ Publish community 2014.11, I'd like to index contents in Elastic Search or Solr (or similar index engines) in order to :

• perform full text search on contents (with respect for access rights on contents, and object relations extraction)
• make custom calls to index in custom controllers to bypass mysql content repository limitations regarding sorting on different classes attributes

What is the prefered way of doing performing ezfind-like 2014.11 ?

Notes :

• I'm not using legacy stack and try to avoid it as much as possible in order to facilitate further migrations, but if I have to I'll use it.
• Currently, I'm planning to use this intallation documentation ezfind LS 5.2
• There is some activity around these question here and here
• there's a bundle by netgen
• In previous versions I used to use ezfind for that which is available in 2014-11 distribution, but I also see elasticsearch bundles in this version. I quickly tried to use it but go the following errors :

```

php ezpublish/console ezpublish:elasticsearch_create_index --env=dev

The best way I found so far is to call ezFind from symfony as explained here :
