Solandra / Elastic Search - full text searching (using Cassandra)

I'm using Cassandra for an app I am developing. I plan to use Solandra to query for documents. I am wondering if anyone has run into any way to use full text search in Solandra? Is there a way to get a hold of where documents are stored in Cassandra by querying for a Solandra id (where the document is stored in the index)?

For example: I have a document, document A, that stores plain text. Suppose in document A I have plain text: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." I am assuming that Solandra would index document A. (document A could be stored in Cassandra) I want to search for "the lazy dog" through a Solandra query. Does Solandra return the location of doc A in the index or does it return the location of doc A in Cassandra db?

How does Solandra support this type of search? Does ElasticSearch/Solandra return the location of doc A in the index the engine built or does the engine return the location of the document in Cassandra? Suppose I want to get a lateral pointer to the Cassandra document A, is there anyway to do this?

Thanks in advance guys.

Solandra does not support indexing data you insert into Cassandra. For this you can keep your eye on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2915

With Solandra you would need to index your documents through the solr api. Some folks do this, write to Cassandra and Solandra.
