Plugging elastic search to my ibm cloudant app

I have an app on cloudant :

How can i plug an elastic search online version, for making full text queries ?

I want to use the river plug in because the new one is too complex .

For now, the only way for me is to do it on localhost, and install elastic 1.6 on localhost, but i'd like to be able to make queries directly online.

Maybe I should use a LUCENT javascript library for couchDb instead ?

Thank you.

What is the problem you're solving here? Cloudant has sophisticated built-in full-text indexing capabilities on top of Lucene:

Whilst it's possible to hook ES onto the Cloudant changes feed, it seems like an overly complex solution that gains little advantage compared with Cloudant's built-in Lucene.
